Jiří Matoušek
has been at Charles University
in Prague steadily from 1981 on, although his role there has
somehow progressed from student to professor. He has also
often enjoyed the hospitality of nice people at many places,
most extensively in Berlin, Germany and Zürich, Switzerland.
He has written papers and textbooks in various areas of
discrete mathematics and theoretical computer science, such
as discrete and computational geometry, low-distortion embeddings
of metric spaces, geometric discrepancy, and topological combinatorics,
often just out of curiosity. From his youth he has retained an
aversion towards questionnaires and biographical sketches,
although many other things he has already forgotten.
