A student of Hilbert, a pioneer of the foundations of probability and game theory, and a contributor to the development of functional analysis, he was one of those instrumental to the extraordinary flowering of Polish mathematics before and after World War I. In particular, it was he who “discovered” the great Stefan Banach. Exhibiting his great integrity and wit, Steinhaus’s personal story of the turbulent times he survived – including two world wars and life postwar under the Soviet heel – cannot but be of consuming interest. His account of the years spent evading Nazi terror is especially moving. The steadfast honesty and natural dignity he maintained while pursuing a life of demanding scientific and intellectual enquiry in the face of encroaching calamity and chaos show him to be truly a mathematician for all seasons..The present work will be of great interest not only to mathematicians wanting to learn some of the details of the mathematical blossoming that occurred in Poland in the first half of the 20.th. cent | | 出版日期 | Book 2015 | | 关键词 | Mathematics World War II; Poland 1887-1968; Polish history; Polish mathematicians; Polish mathematics | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-21984-4 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-79373-3 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-21984-4Series ISSN 1013-0330 Series E-ISSN 2504-3706 | | issn_series | 1013-0330 | | copyright | Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2015 |
