Diviš won the Czechoslovak and International Mathematical Olympiad in 1959 and then studied mathematics at the Charles University in Prague (he was a student of Vojtěch Jarník ). He wrote his diploma thesis under Jarník in 1966 and received his doctorate in 1969 with the dissertation " About grid points in multidimensional ellipsoids " at the University of Heidelberg under Peter Roquette .
In 1970 Diviš became Assistant Professor at Ohio State University (USA), from 1973 he was Associate Professor .
During a conference visit at Illinois State University , he died of heart failure while swimming at the age of 33. He was the author of about 20 scientific articles.
