Stevo Todorčević
Early life and education
Todorčević was born in
Research
Todorčević's work involves mathematical logic, set theory, and their applications to pure mathematics.
In Todorčević's 1978 master’s thesis, he constructed a model of MA + ¬wKH in a way to allow him to make the continuum any regular cardinal, and so derived a variety of topological consequences. Here MA is an abbreviation for
Awards and honours
Todorčević is the winner of
- the first prize of the Balkan Mathematical Society for 1980 and 1982,[8]
- the 2012 CRM-Fields-PIMS prize in mathematical sciences,[9] and
- the Shoenfield prize of the Association for Symbolic Logic for "outstanding expository writing in the field of logic" in 2013, for his book Introduction to Ramsey Spaces.[10][IRS]
He was selected by the Association for Symbolic Logic as their 2016 Gödel Lecturer.[11]
He became a corresponding member of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts as of 1991 and a full member of the Academy in 2009.[12] In 2016 Todorčević became a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada.[13]
Todorčević has been described as "the greatest Serbian mathematician" since the time of Mihailo Petrović Alas.[14]

Todorčević is the author of books in mathematics that include:
- Partition problems in topology (1989)[15]
- Some applications of the method of forcing (with I. Farah, 1995)[16]
