Bohuslav Diviš
Bohuslav Diviš (December 20, 1942 – July 26, 1976) was a Czech mathematician, who worked in the field of number theory.[1][2][3]
Biography[edit]
Bohuslav Diviš was born on December 20, 1942, in Prague. He won the Czechoslovak and International Mathematical Olympiad in 1959 and then studied mathematics at Charles University in Prague (as a student of Vojtěch Jarník). He wrote his thesis in 1966 and his doctorate in 1969 with a thesis on "superlattice points in multidimensional ellipsoids" at the Heidelberg University under Peter Roquette.[1]
In 1970 Diviš became Assistant Professor at Ohio State University (USA), and after 1973 an Associate Professor. He authored about 20 scientific articles.
On July 26, 1976, during a conference visit to Illinois State University in Normal, Illinois, he died of heart failure at the age of 33.
