Croatian Mathematical Diaspora

Numerous Croatian mathematicians are scattered throughout the
world, on many universities outside of Croatia. By a Croatian
mathematician we mean any mathematician whose origin or education are
at least in part related to Croatia. Majority of them started their
math. education at the University of Zagreb. Some of them have world's
reputation in their respective fields. We do not restrict ourselves
only to contemporary mathematicians.
The aim of this page is to show that we did not forget our
colleagues. We want to provide this list to broader public, both in
Croatia and abroad. Of course, the aim is also to promote closer ties
between Croatian math. diaspora and the math. community of Croatia.
