In Memory of Jaroslav Zemánek (1946 - 2017)

--- Pei Yuan Wu (September 19. 2017)

Only after reading the September 9, 2017 issue of “Headlines & Deadlines”, the newsletter for members of the American Mathematical Society, did I realize that an old acquaintance of mine, Jaroslave Zemánek, had passed away on February 18 this year at the age of 70.

As a Czech, Jaroslave Zemánek (1946 - 2017) obtained his Ph.D. degree in 1977 at the “Institute of Mathematics” of the “Polish Academy of Sciences” in Warsaw under the guidance of Wieslaw Żelazko, and afterwards spent all his career, a total of 35 years, there.
