Moise's name

1. The AMS obituatory notice^[1] cited in the article gives his name as "Edwin E. Moïse", with a dieresis on the 'i'. But the article spells the name without the dieresis. Which is correct?

The NYT obituary cited in the article gives no dieresis, which I believe settles the point for now. —Dominus (talk) 15:49, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

2. Was Moise named after Evariste Galois?
