Václav Hlavatý (27 January 1894 – 11 January 1969) was a noted Czech-American mathematician, who wrote on the theory of relativity and corresponded extensively with Albert Einstein on the subject.〔(Indiana University fast facts )〕 In particular, Hlavatý solved some very difficult equations relating to Einstein's Unified field theory, which was featured in the news media as one of the great scientific achievements of 1953.〔(Johns Hopkins Television Programs 1948-1960: Highlights of science for 1953 )〕 Einstein himself was reported to have said that if anyone could solve the equations it would be Professor Hlavatý, which proved to be the case.〔(Václav Hlavatý ) Czech biography, citing the New York Herald Tribune〕 He was born in Louny, Bohemia (now in the Czech Republic) and died in Bloomington, Indiana. He obtained his PhD in 1921 at the Charles University in Prague〔(www.mff.cuni.cz ) Prof. Václav Hlavatý〕〔V. Hlavatý (1928) ''Mathematische Zeitschrift'', Vol 28, No 1, Bemerkung zur Arbeit von Herrn T. Y. Thomas〕 and during World War II participated in the Prague uprising,〔 but his academic career was mainly at Indiana University, which he joined in 1948, and where he became Professor, later Emeritus, of Mathematics. A special book of mathematical essays was published in his honour.〔B. Hoffman (ed.), ''Perspectives in Geometry and Relativity: Essays in Honor of Václav Hlavatý,'' Bloomington: Indiana UP, 1966.〕 In 1931 he married Olga Neumannova, and they had a daughter, Olga.〔 == Some publications== *"The Elementary Basic Principles of the Unified Theory of Relativity," ''Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS)'' 38.3 (1952): 243-247. *"The Einstein Connection of the Unified Theory of Relativity," ''PNAS'' 38.5 (1952): 415-419. *"The Schrödinger Final Affine Field Laws," ''PNAS'' 38.12 (1952): 1052-1058. *"The Spinor Connection in the Unified Einstein Theory of Relativity," ''PNAS'' 39.6 (1953): 501-506.
