Gradimir V. Milovanovic is a Professor of Numerical Analysis and Approximation Theory and Full Member of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts. He studied at University of Niš, obtaining a B.Sc. (1971) in electrical engineering and computer sciences and an M.Sc. (1974) and a Ph.D. (1976) in mathematics.
He was with the Faculty of Electronic Engineering and the Department of Mathematics at the same place as, promoted to professor (1986) and acting as Dean of the Faculty of Electronic Engineering (2002-2004) and Rector of the University of Niš (2004–06), as well as Dean of the Faculty of Computer Sciences at the Megatrend University, Belgrade (2008-2011), until he joined the Mathematical Institute of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts in Belgrade (2011). He was President of the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development of the Republic of Serbia (2006-2010).
His research interests are Orthogonal Polynomials and Systems; Interpolation, Quadrature Processes and Integral Equations; Approximation by Polynomials and Splines; Extremal Problems, Inequalities and Zeros of Polynomials. He published 7 monographs, about 250 scientific papers in refereed journals, 35 book chapters, about 50 papers in conference proceedings, as well as 20 textbooks. Most significant monograph works of Milovanovic are Topics in Polynomials: Extremal Problems, Inequalities, Zeros (coauthors: D. S. Mitrinovic and Th. M. Rassias), published at over 800 pages by World Scientific (Singapore, 1994) and known in the world as „Bible of Polynomials“ and the monograph Interpolation Processes – Basic Theory and Applications (c??uthor: G. Mastroianni) by Springer, 2008. (Home page: http://www.mi.sanu.ac.rs/~gvm/ ). He is currently serving as an Editor-in-Chief and an Associate Editor for several journals (Journal of Inequalities and Applications, Springer; Optimization Letters, Springer; Applied Mathematics and Computation, Elsevier; Publications de l’Institut Mathématique, Mathematical Institute, Belgrade, etc.).
