Biography

Dov Tamari was born under the name Bernhard Teitler on 29 April 1911 in Fulda, German Empire (now Germany).^[1] He left Nazi Germany for the British Mandate for Palestine in 1933. He was known for his work in logic and combinatorics, and the Tamari lattice is named after him.

Tamari earned a doctorate of science from the University of Paris in 1951, under the direction of Paul Dubreil.^[2] His students include Carlton Maxson and Kevin Osondu.

Tamari was living in New York City in 1990, and he died in Jerusalem in 2006.^[1]
