โฆ Synopsis
When Josef Hoschek passed away on April 18, 2002, the CAGD community lost one of its most distinguished exponents. For 25 years, he promoted the development in this new field of applied mathematics with inspiration, farsightedness, and great energy. A comprehensive description of his various scientific contributions and organizational activities is hardly possible, so let me try to focus on a few characteristic aspects of his lifetime achievements and his personality.
