Jiří (Jirka) Matoušek (10 March 1963 – 9 March 2015) was a Czech mathematician working in computational geometry and algebraic topology. He was a professor at Charles University in Prague and the author of several textbooks and research monographs. Matoušek was born in Prague. In 1986, he received his Master's degree at Charles University under Miroslav Katětov. From 1986 until his death he was employed at the Department of Applied Mathematics of Charles University in Prague, holding a professor position since 2000. He was also a visiting and later full professor at ETH Zurich.〔 In 1996, he won the European Mathematical Society prize〔(EMS Prize Winners ).〕 and in 2000 he won the Scientist award of the Learned Society of the Czech Republic.〔(2000 Awards ), Learned Society of the Czech Republic.〕 He became a fellow of the Learned Society of the Czech Republic in 2005.〔(Member profile ), Learned Society of the Czech Republic, retrieved 2015-03-10.〕 Matoušek's paper on computational aspects of algebraic topology won the Best Paper award at the 2012 ACM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=SIAM: Best Paper Awards )〕 Aside from his own academic writing, he has translated the popularization book ''Mathematics: A Very Short Introduction'' by Timothy Gowers into Czech. He was a supporter and signatory of the Cost of Knowledge protest.〔(【引用サイトリンク】quote= I've been practicing this for many years, with some exceptions (journals with few good alternatives, requests for reports from people I didn't want to disappoint). I hope this initiative will not die out. )〕 He died in 2015, aged 51.〔, obituary〕 ==Books== *''Invitation to Discrete Mathematics'' (with Jaroslav Nešetřil). Oxford University Press, 1998.
