George Apostolopoulos was born in Messolonghi - Greece at 23 January 1949. He graduated the University of Ioannina. He is member of “The Mathematical Society of Greece” and member of the tender committee. He is also member of “The Mathematical Society” of USA, Canada and Romania as well. He has published proposed mathematical problems and mathematical solutions through the scientific magazines of the “Mathematical Society” of USA and Canada. There are more than 400 references to his name in mathematical problem-solving situations in famous magazines from whole world such as “American Mathematical Monthly”, “College Mathematical Journal”, “Mathematics Magazine”, “Crux Mathematicorum”. In 2009, he participated as an observer in the World Olympiad which was held in Germany, Breme and in 2010 in the Balkan Olympiad Juniors in Romania. In 2013, he participated as second-in-command at the Balkan Olympiad in Cyprus and in 2014 also as second-in-command at the Balkan Olympiad Juniors held in Ohrida.His book “Beauty of proving” was very appreciated in whole world and it was a best-seller in mathematical world.
DANIEL SITARU
Daniel Sitaru, born on 9 August 1963 in Craiova, Romania, is teacher at National Economic College "Theodor Costescu" in Drobeta Turnu - Severin. He published 33 mathematical books, last two of these, "Math Phenomenon" and "Algebraic Phenomenon", were very appreciated worldwide.
