Academician Blagovest Sendov Celebrates his 85th Anniversary

 

Today the prominent Bulgarian mathematician academician Blagovest Sendov celebrates his 85th birthday. In a talk entitled The beauty of polynomials the remarkable scientist will greet his colleagues at the National Colloquium of Mathematics of the Union of Bulgarian Mathematicians in the Conference Room of the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics. The Colloquium is headed by Acad. Peter Popivanov. 

Under the guidance of Academician Sendov, the Bulgarian approximation theory school was developed and specialists in various fields were created: numerical analysis, numerical methods for solving differential equations, functional analysis, analytic number theory, geometry of polynomials. His numerous students have been spreading for years the fame of Bulgaria and Bulgarian mathematics around the world. 

New and experimental methods in secondary education, developed and implemented by Acad. Sendov, were the predecessors of what we now call inquiry-based approach. He is one of the main engines behind the Model of university education in mathematics, a system which two decades later was adopted throughout Europe.

Happy anniversary, Academician Sendov!
