About Beno Arbel

Lived 1939 – 2013 (aged 74). Beno Arbel was an Israeli mathematician and professor.

Beno Arbel (; 20 January 1939 – 9 April 2013) was an Israeli mathematician and historian of mathematics who worked as professor of mathematics at Tel Aviv University.

He should be distinguished from Benjamin Arbel, a professor emeritus of history at Tel Aviv University.

Biography Born in Drăgănești-Olt, Romania, Arbel began his academic studies at the University of Bucharest, which he continued at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem upon immigrating to Israel in 1961. He completed his baccalaureate in mathematics and physics there in 1963, and his master's degree in mathematics in April 1965 (under the supervision of Aryeh Dvoretzky), a month after which he enlisted in the Israel Defense Forces. Arbel received his Ph.D. in 1987 from the Hebrew University under Marcel Herzog, and went on to teach at Tel Aviv University, Kibbutzim College, Beit Berl Academic College, and the Academic College of Tel Aviv-Yafo.

From the late 1980s, Arbel served as director of the program for gifted young students in mathematics and computer science at Tel Aviv University.
