Милева Првановић : (1929–2016)
Апстракт
As early as Mileva Prvanović was a math student at the Faculty of
Sciences and Mathematics, University of Belgrade, she belonged to a group
of gift ed students, to which besides her also belonged Milica Ilić-Dajović,
Zagorka Šnajder, Dragomir Lopandić and Vesna Tomašić, who followed the
ideas of Miloš Radojčić, whose scholarly eff orts enabled the development of
geometry in our country (even though Mihailo Petrović is to be credited with
the earliest beginnings of geometry in our country), and thereby provided a
substantial scientifi c and professional contribution to the fi eld of geometry at
all academic levels in the decades following World War II.
Mileva Prvanović was born in Žlne near Knjaževac in 1929. She
completed primary and grammar school in Belgrade. Th anks to her father,
Stanko Prvanović, who was one of our most prominent pedagogues and who
authored many mathematics textbooks, she entered the world of mathematics.
She completed her mathematical studies at the ...Faculty of Sciences and
Mathematics, University of Belgrade, in 1951 and received her doctoral
degree in Zagreb in 1955 under the tutelage of Danilo Blanuša with the thesis
titled “Parageodesic Spaces and Parageodesic Curves of Subspaces of the
Riemann space. She received additional training at the Henri Poincaré
Institute in Paris in 1959, and later at the Department of Mechanics and
Mathematics of the Moscow State University in 1964.
In the period 1951–1955 she worked at the Mathematical Institute of
the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts. From 1955 to 1991 she worked at
the University of Novi Sad, where she was fi rst hired by the Faculty of
Philosophy and then by the Faculty of Sciences and Mathematics, ever since
its foundation. Given that she belonged to the fi rst group of mathematicians
that were included in the Novi Sad Mathematics Group, not only was she
obliged to deliver lectures, but also to set up teaching activities in several
subjects in the fi eld of geometry as well as to organize and initiate research
activities with particular focus on diff erential geometry. In addition, she
delivered lectures to postgraduate students at the Faculty of Architecture,
University of Belgrade, for several years. Ever since she served as an assistant
researcher at the Mathematical Institute of the Serbian Academy of Sciences
and Arts, and throughout her entire academic career, which lasted for 65
years, she provided active contributions to the work of the Institute, until her
death.
She was elected a Corresponding Member of the Vojvodina Academy
of Sciences and Arts (VASA) in 1981, and a Full Member in 1990. Aft er the merge of the VASA and the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts (SASA) in
1991, she became a Full Member of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and
Arts. She won numerous awards for her accomplishments, among which are
the Award of Novi Sad in 1966 and 7th July Award in 1989.
She authored three university textbooks and two high school textbooks
and co-authored one high school textbook that was translated into the
majority of languages spoken by the national minorities living in the Republic
of Serbia.
Academician Mileva Prvanović mentored several doctoral and master’s
theses. Her research career lasted for 65 years, from 1951, when she completed
her studies at the University of Belgrade until her death, during which she
did research in the fi eld of geometry, in particular more precise diff erential
geometry. She published 102 papers on diff erential geometry, among which
are also 13 papers that she co-authored. Of all her published papers the most
cited (16 times, according to the МР database) one is the paper titled
Holomorphically projective transformations in a locally product space, Math.
Balkanica, 1, 195–213 (1971). She also showed a great interest in the history
and philosophy of mathematics, in particular geometry, and she gladly
delivered lectures in that fi eld. In addition to 12 papers on the history of
mathematics that she either authored or co-authored, she also published
eight research studies.
Mileva Prvanović took part in a number of national and international
congresses and conferences. She was a member of the scientific and
organizational boards of several scientifi c conferences as well as of several
editorial boards of the proceedings of international scientifi c conferences that
were organized by the Faculty of Sciences, University of Novi Sad, Faculty of
Mathematics, University of Belgrade, and the Mathematical Institute of the
Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts. For years, she chaired the permanent
Seminar on Geometry that was held every Friday at the SASA Mathematical
Institute, and for a certain period of time it was held alternately at the
Institute and the Faculty of Sciences, University of Novi Sad. She also chaired
some subprojects in geometry within projects in mathematics, funded by the
Ministry of Science of the Republic of Serbia.
In addition to her scientifi c and academic activities, Mileva Prvanović
made time to read, in particular historical fi ction, go on sightseeing tours, do
needlework etc. She knew to tell a good joke and to make her associates
laugh.
She noted in an interview that she never came across the issue of gender
equality throughout her career, nevertheless, she was always aware of the
great impact that her famous professors, among whom was Milutin Milanković,
exerted on her work and the way she was addressing problems in life. Further information and analysis on all that we elaborated on in this
short summary on the life and work of Academician Mileva Prvanović can
be found in the paper. Th e content of this paper has been prepared on the
basis of literature refl ected in the reference list that is provided at the end of
the paper, personal impressions and memoirs, as well as based on interviews
with colleagues, who cooperated with us for several decades. In addition, the
paper also includes a number of photographs
