To do: add birth year

Latest comment: 2 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Alexander Okhotin [Wikidata] has ^[1] compiled a list of names and birth years of researchers to appear in the upcoming book Formal Grammars. It lists Dinitz's birth year as 1949. This is consistent with the statements in the speech ("Yefim Dinitz talk at Shimon Even's Party") and retirement announcement ("ברכות לפרופ' יפים דיניץ על פרישתו לגמלאות") cited in the article that Dinitz was 19 or 20 when he created Dinitz's algorithm (invented in 1969, published in 1970). Once Formal Grammars is published, this list should be citable. In the meantime, finding another source would be great.
