Life

Originally from Žitava by the southern region of Slovakia, he studied at the Faculty of Natural Sciences of Charles University in Prague, where in 1952 he defended a dissertation entitled Príspevok k teorii súčtov a nekonečných radov s reálnými členami and supervised by Miloš Kössler [cs] and Vojtěch Jarník.^[1] In 1952 he went to work at the Faculty of Natural Sciences of Comenius University in Bratislava, where he became an assistant professor in 1962. He was appointed to a full professorship position in 1972. And in 1974, he earned a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the same institution.^[2]

He specialized in Cantor's expansions, uniform distribution, statistical convergence, summation methods and theory of numbers.^[2]

He wrote several undergraduate and graduate textbooks.
