Blagovest Sendov was a Bulgarian mathematician, diplomat and politician, born in Asenovgrad on 8 February 1932 and dying on 19 January 2020. He served as rector of Sofia University and as head of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, and he published more than 200 works in mathematics and computer science. His research centred on approximation theory, and his name is attached to Sendov's conjecture, one of the major open problems in the study of the zeros of polynomials. Outside mathematics he stood as an independent in the 1992 Bulgarian presidential election, chaired the National Assembly of Bulgaria from 1995 to 1997 and served as its deputy chairperson until 2002. He was Bulgarian ambassador to Japan from 2004 to 2009, and in 2000 he was elected a member of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts.
