EDUARD ČECH (on the tenth anniversary of his death)

The outstanding Czechoslovak geometer and topologist Eduard Cech was born in 1893 in Strachov in northwestern Bohemia. In 1912, while still a student at the Charles University, he began a systematic study of mathematical literature of his own choice, giving preference to the various branches of geometry. In 1915 he was drafted into the army and took part in the First World War. In 1920 he defended his thesis and began to study differential projective geometry. After becoming acquainted with the work of Fubini he went to him in Turin and became his best student. The result of this trip was two books written by Fubini and Cech in which the foundations of differential projective geometry were laid. Cech worked in this field until 1930 after which he left differential geometry for a long time and began to study topology. His first publication in topology was in 1930, the last (not counting a note after the war) was in 1938. During this eight year period Cech obtained brilliant results in the most urgent problems of topology of that time.
