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. 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. 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.

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. 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 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. In 1958, he became the first President of the Czechoslovak Society of Arts and Sciences established in Washington DC by intellectuals of Czech and Slovak origin. He was an Invited Speaker of the ICM in 1928 in Bologna and in 1936 in Oslo. In 1931 he married Olga Neumannova, and they had a daughter, Olga. (en)
  • Václav Hlavatý (Louny, 27 de janeiro de 1894 – Bloomington, Indiana, 11 de janeiro de 1969) foi um matemático tcheco-estadunidense, que publicou trabalhos sobre a teoria da relatividade e teve extensa correspondência com Albert Einstein sobre o assunto. Em particular, Hlavatý resolveu algumas equações difíceis relacionadas com a teoria do campo unificado de Einstein, que foi apresentado nos meios de comunicação como uma das grandes realizações científicas de 1953. Einstein mesmo disse que se alguém poderia resolver as equações, este seria Professor Hlavatý, como realmente aconteceu. Hlavatý nasceu em Louny, Reino da Boêmia (atualmente na República Tcheca) e morreu em Bloomington, Indiana. Obteve um doutorado em 1921 na Universidade Carolina em Praga e durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial participou do Levante de Praga, mas sua carreira acadêmica foi principalmente na Universidade de Indiana, na qual começou a trabalhar em 1948. Um livro especial de ensaios matemáticos foi publicado em sua comemoração. Foi palestrante convidado do Congresso Internacional de Matemáticos em Bolonha (1928) e em Oslo (1936). Em 1931 casou com Olga Neumannova, e tiveram uma filha, Olga. (pt)
