In this study, we continue presenting profiles of some distinguished graduates in mathematics of the Jagiellonian University. We consider the years 1926‒1939, after the ministerial reform which allowed the students to graduate with a master’s degree. We also give a list of master’s theses in mathematics.
In this study, we present profiles of some distinguished graduates in mathematics of the Jagiellonian University from the years 1918‒1925. We discuss their professional paths and scholarly achievements, instances of scientific collaboration, connections with other academic centers in Poland and worldwide, involvement in mathematical education and teacher training, as well as their later roles in Polish...
In the paper, we discuss the exposition of material on the theory of surfaces in J. Puzyna’s monograph “Teorya funkcyj analitycznych” [Theory of Analytic functions] (published at the turn of XIX and XX centuries) which is necessary for consideration of the Riemann surfaces of analytic functions. Though the monograph contains elements of the set theory, the author preferred a descriptive exposition.
We provide one of the first surveys of results in the area of topology by representatives of the Lvov School of mathematics and mathematicians related to the University of Lvov. Viewed together, these results show the importance of this school in the creation of topology.
The article highlights certain aspects of the set theory and topology in Puzyna’s work Theory of analytic functions (1899, 1900). In particular, the following notions are considered: derivative of a set, cardinality, connectedness, accumulation point, surface, genus of surface.
This article is a partial report of research on mathematical education at the Jagiellonian University in the period 1860‒1945. We give a description of the selected lectures: Calculus of Probability by Michał Karliński, Analytic Geometry by Franciszek Mertens, Marian Baraniecki’s lectures, Higher seminar (Weierstrass preparation theorem) by Kazimierz Żorawski, Principles of Set theory by Zaremba and...
