Bohuslav Diviš
Bohuslav Diviš (December 20 1942 in Prague – July 26 1976 in Normal, Illinois, United States) was a Czech mathematician, who worked in the field of number theory.[1][2][3]
Bohuslav Diviš 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.
During a conference visit to Illinois State University he died of heart failure at the age of 33.
He authored about 20 scientific articles.
