From Leibniz extends the idea to develop research relating to such properties of various forms, which do not depend on the size and the distance between their elements. He called this new, not yet existing field of mathematics, Analysis Situs [Positions analysis ] and thought about its construction. On this, however, mean stop there.
In Memoirs of the Society of Sciences in Paris they were published three works on analytic functions. They are: dissertation by Władysław Puchewicza (1974) and two works of Wladyslaw Kretkowski (ps. Trzaska) (1971,1872).
The paper provides a list of graduated candidates for PhDs with information about the procedure of doctorate and information about reviewers, examiners and supervisors. Some of the other details and biographies of doctoral students are also discussed. The informationare derived from official records in books, archives, the albums of promotion and doctoral students personal portfolios.
The creation of this article is associated with the discovery of algebra textbook for secondary school by Jan Kostecki(1902) in my father's bookcase. Reading of it was accompanied by my astonishment voluminous material contained therein. Amazement is increased when we compare the range of teaching mathematics in schools during the period under Austrian rule with the program currently in force in secondary...
The eleven extant letters of the correspondence between Evgeny Evgenievich Slutsky (1880-1948) and Vladislav Iosifovich Bortkevich, or Władysław Bortkiewicz (1868-1931) that have survived in the Bortkiewicz papers deposited at Uppsala University and were discovered there by Mag. Guido Rauscher are presented. Slutsky (in part) and Bortkiewicz (consistently) adhered to the old Russian orthography that...
The Riemann hypothesis is now probably the most famous unsolved hypothesis in mathematics. In the nineties of the twentieth century, after almost 350 years, the Great Fermat's theorem has been proved. At the beginning of the XXI century finally surrendered the classic Poincar\'e hypothesis. Bravely holding up even Goldbach's conjecture, but the significance of the Riemann hypothesis is probably greater...
A Russian version of this paper is Шейнин (2008b). Vladislav Iosifovich Bortkevich (August 7, 1868 -- July 15, 1931) was born in Petersburg into a family of Russified Polish nobility. After moving to Germany he changed his name and became Ladislaus von Bortkiewicz (his name is abbreviated as V. I. or L. B. in the paper, respectively). His mother was Helene, née von Rokicki, and father, Iosif Ivanovich,...
The Society of Sciences in Paris existed formally in the years 1870-1882. However, the first publications in mathematics in Paris financed Jan Działyński was published in 1852, hence the period of its operations should be extended for the period 1852-1882. In this study the documents from the collection stored in the Library of Kornik are quoted.
The enormous scientific achievements of Wacław Sierpiński the subject of real functions occupies an important place. Overview of the most important results in this field can be found in the article by Stanislaw Hartman reproduced in Selected Works of Wacław Sierpiński in Volume II, pages 25-31 (Choisies Oeuvres, Volume III, PWN 1975). The purpose of this article is to draw attention also to some works...
Georg Cantor was born in St. Petersburg in 1845. Here he spent his childhood. This article presents his family based on the archives. Many materials were previously unknown and they are published here for the first time.
A survey of Sierpiński's papers devoted to analytic number theory, to expansions of real numbers into series and products, to diophantine approximation and to elementary number theory.
The analysis of this work is profile junior high school teacher in Galicia at the end of XIX and beginning of XX century. In Galicia very cared for highly qualified teaching staff in all subjects, especially secondary school teachers and their scientific work in his discipline, but also in pedagogy, psychology and methodology.
A survey of Mertens's contributions to number theory divided into the following parts: power residues, irreducibility of polynomials, systems of linear equations, binary quadratic forms, theta functions, complex multiplication, transcendental numbers, Gauss sums, zeta and L functions, distribution of primes, asymptotic formulas for arithmetic functions, foundations of arithmetic in number fields,...
Imperial University of Warsaw (Императорский Варшавский Университет) was opened in $1870$. During the World War First he was evacuated to Rostov-on-Don, along with staff and students preacher ($1915$), where the end of July it acted as "the Imperial University of Warsaw in c. Rostov-on-Don" (Императорский Варшавский Университет в г.Ростове-на-Дону). The university has been then transformed...
The law granting academic degrees at the University of Lviv was already stored in the document of John Casimir of 1661 years. Lviv University led the effort to obtain these rights. They were Opposed the Academy and the Academia Zamoscensis. At the time of the Austrian Emperor Joseph II (1784-1805) decree of 1786 was agreed form of broadcasting doctorate. Each was awarded a doctorate by the Senate,...
Wladyslaw Kretkowski coat Dołęga was born on 21st of December 1840, in Wierzbnik, in his mother's family estate, in the Kujawy region, the Polish Kingdom . His parents were Emilian and Isabella Chrzaszczewska of house, Trzaska coat of arms. At baptism he received the names: Wladyslaw, Zygmunt, Leon. Initially, he received education at home, staying mainly in the family court at Baruch, and then he attended the...
Juliusz Rudnicki był matematykiem polskim, wykształconym w Paryżu na początku XX wieku. Kilkakrotnie brał udział w tworzeniu zrębów kształ cenia w zakresie matematyki wyższej w reaktywowanych lub nowopowstających uczelniach polskich:-- od 1915 na Politechnice Warszawskiej i na Uniwersytecie Warszawskim,-- od 1923 na Uniwersytecuie Stefana Batorego w Wilnie,-- od 1945 na Politechnice Warszawskiej (...
Giuseppe Peano (27.10.1858-20.04.1932) made many discoveries and introduced many concepts that are attributed to other mathematicians, even though their contribution was late and often less significant. Our main goal is to guide those of his achievements, which are the least known and an indication of the value of others that seem to be under-appreciated. We will also on the causes of the incomprehensible...
In the paper philosophical views of Andrzej Mostowski concerning mathematics and logic are presented. Connections with Tarski’s views as well as with the historical circumstances are discussed. It is considered whether and to what extent did they influence the scientific researches of Mostowski in logic and the foundations of mathematics.
