Zakrajšek was born in Ljubljana, Yugoslavia (today Slovenia). He became an orphan even before he started to attend school. He went to elementary school and gymnasium in Jesenice. He was a good schoolboy and he showed his talent and abilities very early. He graduated from technical mathematics at the Department of mathematics and physics of then Faculty for natural sciences and technology (FNT) of the University of Ljubljana. He received his Master's degree at the University of Zagreb with a work Numericna realizacija Ritzovega procesa (Numerical realization of the Ritz process ) and his doctorate in 1978Events January January 1 The Copyright Act of 1976 takes effect, making sweeping changes to United States copyright law.

In practice the "unknown function" is usuas).

Professor Zakrajšek was one of the pioneers of computer scienceIn its most general sense, computer science CS or compsci is the study of computation and information processing, both in hardware and in software. Introduction Computer science encomposses a variety of topics relating to computation, ranging from abstrac in Slovenia. He became an expert about the first computertower of a personal computer. A computer is a device for making calculations or controlling operations that are expressible in numerical or logical terms. While factually accurate, this definition and those found in other dictionaries are so broad that ths of the University of Ljubljana, the ZuseKonrad Zuse ( June 22, 1910 December 18, 1995) was a German engineer and computer pioneer. His greatest achievement was the completion of the first functional tape-stored-program-controlled computer, the Z3, in 1941. It is sometimes claimed that this is t Z-23 and its successor the IBM 1130The IBM 1130 Computing System was introduced in 1965. It was IBM's least-expensive computer to date, and was aimed at price-sensitive, computing-intensive technical markets like education and engineering. The IBM 1800 was a process control variant of the. Later on he participated in the development of programming languageAn alternate rewrite has been has been. Please refer to it for large rewrites. A programming language or computer language is a standardized communication technique for expressing instructions to a computer. It is a set of syntactic and semantic rules uses, tools and operating systemIn computing, an operating system OS is the system software responsible for the direct control and management of hardware and basic system operations, as well as running application software such as word processing programs and web browsers. In general, ts. He wrote textbooks and manuals for them simultaneously: for Z-23 assembler, Algol, Fortran, Algol 68, Pascal, for domestic structran. In 1982 he set off for United States and he became the manager of the programming equipment at the firm Cromemco. In 1994 he returned to homeland, where he occupied professorship again. With his advocacies about the C and open operating systems, that is, Unix and Linux, he helped to modernize the lessons of computer science. He became an expert again for TeX, LaTeX and Matlab.

Beside his computer scientifical skills he was also an excellent mathematician with a broad profile. He taught and solved problems from many fields: the usage of mathematics in natural and social sciences, statistics, mechanics, classical applied mathematics, discrete mathematics, graph and network theory, linear programming, operational researches, numerical analysis.
