Novák grew up in Chrudim . As a student, he successfully took part in national mathematics Olympics and studied mathematics at Charles University in Prague from 1956 , where he became a student of Vojtěch Jarník . At Jarník he wrote his diploma, doctoral and post-doctoral theses on a number theoretical topic ( grid points in multidimensional ellipsoids ), to which his teacher Vojtěch Jarník had contributed pioneering results since 1928.

Novák was the author of around 40 mathematical articles and a book (script) on analytical number theory.
