This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com 1661-8297/14/030285-36, published online December 3, 2014 DOI 10.1007/s11787-014-0108-2 Logica Universalis Adolf Lindenbaum: Notes on his Life, with Bibliography and Selected References Jan Zygmunt and Robert Purdy Abstract. Notes on the life of Adolf Lindenbaum, a complete bibliography of his published works, and selected references to his unpublished results. Mathematics Subject Classification. 01A60, 01A70, 01A73, 03-03. Keywords. Adolf Lindenbaum, biography, bibliography, unpublished works. This paper is dedicated to Adolf Lindenbaum (1904–1941)—Polish- Jewish mathematician and logician; a member of the Warsaw school of mathe- matics under Waclaw Sierpi´nski and Stefan Mazurkiewicz and school of math- ematical logic under JanLukasiewicz and Stanislaw Le´sniewski;1 and Alfred Tarski’s closest collaborator of the inter-war period. Our paper is divided into three main parts. The first part is biograph- ical and narrative in character. It gathers together what little is known of Lindenbaum’s short life. The second part is a bibliography of Lindenbaum’s published output, including his public lectures. Our aim there is to be complete and definitive. The third part is a list of selected references in the literature attesting to his unpublished results2 and delineating their extent. Just to confuse things, we name the second and third parts of our paper, respectively, “Bibliography Part One” and “Bibliography Part Two”. Why, we no longer remember. -
Leaders of Polish Mathematics Between the Two World Wars
COMMENTATIONES MATHEMATICAE Vol. 53, No. 2 (2013), 5-12 Roman Duda Leaders of Polish mathematics between the two world wars To Julian Musielak, one of the leaders of post-war Poznań mathematics Abstract. In the period 1918-1939 mathematics in Poland was led by a few people aiming at clearly defined but somewhat different goals. They were: S. Zaremba in Cracow, W. Sierpiński and S. Mazurkiewicz in Warsaw, and H. Steinhaus and S. Banach in Lvov. All were chairmen and editors of mathematical journals, and each promoted several students to continue their efforts. They were highly successful both locally and internationally. When Poland regained its independence in 1918, Polish mathematics exploded like a supernova: against a dark background there flared up, in the next two deca- des, the Polish Mathematical School. Although the School has not embraced all mathematics in the country, it soon attracted common attention for the whole. Ho- wever, after two decades of a vivid development the School ended suddenly also like a supernova and together with it there silenced, for the time being, the rest of Polish mathematics. The end came in 1939 when the state collapsed under German and Soviet blows from the West and from the East, and the two occupants cooperated to cut short Polish independent life. After 1945 the state and mathematics came to life again but it was a different state and a different mathematics. The aim of this paper is to recall great leaders of the short-lived interwar Polish mathematics. By a leader we mean here a man enjoying an international reputation (author of influential papers or monographs) and possessing a high position in the country (chairman of a department of mathematics in one of the universities), a man who had a number of students and promoted several of them to Ph.D. -

Kazimierz Kuratowski (Warsaw)
Kazimierz Kuratowski (Warsaw) THE PAST AND THE PRESENT OF THE POLISH SCHOOL OF MATHEMATICS I am concentrating in this article on two main subjects. Firstly: I am trying to answer the question what brought about such an “explosion” of mathematics in a country in whose scientific tradition there was hardly any mathematics and which happened at the time when after an over-one-century-long foreign rule the nation was trying hard to reconstruct its now independent country, ravaged by the First World War. Secondly: was this explosion a short-lived enthusiasm or, on the contrary, the Polish school of .mathematics struck roots so deeply that it was sub sequently able to survive the cataclysm of the Second World War and rebuild in the new circumastances — in People’s Poland — the internationally re cognized edifice of Polish mathematics? There will be in this article no mathematical theorems, no definitions or geometrical constructions. I shall be trying to use the language which can be understood without mathematical qualifications. It is therefore my hope that this text will be intelligible not only to mathematicians.1 1. PRECURSORS OF THE POLISH SCHOOL OF MATHEMATICS It was the years 1918—1920 when the Polish School of Mathematics was emerging. Before describing this period and the subsequent years one should, I think, review, be it only summarily, the contemporary state of Polish mathematics. I am going to mention those of its representatives the majority of whom had in fact been active in the 19th century but who also worked in the 20th century and so could influence the formation of the School of Mathematics being thus its precursors as it were. -
Contribution of Warsaw Logicians to Computational Logic
axioms Article Contribution of Warsaw Logicians to Computational Logic Damian Niwi ´nski Institute of Informatics, University of Warsaw, 02-097 Warsaw, Poland; [email protected]; Tel.: +48-22-554-4460 Academic Editor: Urszula Wybraniec-Skardowska Received: 22 April 2016; Accepted: 31 May 2016; Published: 3 June 2016 Abstract: The newly emerging branch of research of Computer Science received encouragement from the successors of the Warsaw mathematical school: Kuratowski, Mazur, Mostowski, Grzegorczyk, and Rasiowa. Rasiowa realized very early that the spectrum of computer programs should be incorporated into the realm of mathematical logic in order to make a rigorous treatment of program correctness. This gave rise to the concept of algorithmic logic developed since the 1970s by Rasiowa, Salwicki, Mirkowska, and their followers. Together with Pratt’s dynamic logic, algorithmic logic evolved into a mainstream branch of research: logic of programs. In the late 1980s, Warsaw logicians Tiuryn and Urzyczyn categorized various logics of programs, depending on the class of programs involved. Quite unexpectedly, they discovered that some persistent open questions about the expressive power of logics are equivalent to famous open problems in complexity theory. This, along with parallel discoveries by Harel, Immerman and Vardi, contributed to the creation of an important area of theoretical computer science: descriptive complexity. By that time, the modal m-calculus was recognized as a sort of a universal logic of programs. The mid 1990s saw a landmark result by Walukiewicz, who showed completeness of a natural axiomatization for the m-calculus proposed by Kozen. The difficult proof of this result, based on automata theory, opened a path to further investigations. -
1 on the Life and Work of Andrzej Mostowski? STANISŁAW
On the life and work of Andrzej Mostowski ? STANISŁAW KRAJEWSKI and MARIAN SREBRNY (Warsaw, Poland) Andrzej Stanisław Mostowski was born on November 1, 1913, in Lwów. His father, Stanisław Mostowski, was a medical doctor and worked as an assistant at the Physical Chemistry Department of the University of Lwów; he was conscripted in 1914 as a military doctor and soon after died of typhus. The family had to be provided for by the mother, Zofia née Kramsztyk (1881-1963), who worked for many years in a bank. Andrzej (by his mother called Staszek after the father) had one sister Krystyna (after the war she settled abroad – first in France, then in Montreal). In the summer of 1914 Mostowski’s mother went with her children to Zakopane to spend holidays there; in the face of the outbreak of war and the death of the father they ? This text is translated from its Polish original published in “Wiadomo ści matematyczne”, Annales Societatis Mathematicae Polonae XXII.1 (1979), pp. 53-64, updated slightly where necessary. It is meant to present solely the events of Andrzej Mostowski’s biography. We do not discuss the content of his scientific output as such (other articles are devoted to it), but only provide some information on when he was involved in what and when his major works were created. The information included in this article have been taken from three following sources. Firstly, from the existing publications on the life and scientific output of Andrzej Mostowski.

Alfred Tarski
Alfred Tarski Born January 14, 1901, Warsaw, Poland; died October 2 7, 1983, Berkeley, Calif.; one of the four greatest logicians of all time. Education: PhD, University of Warsaw, 1924. Professional Experience: instructor, logic, Pedagogical Institute, Fical, Warsaw, 1922-1925; docent (and later adjunct professor), the University of Warsaw, 1925-1939; research associate, Harvard University, 1939-1941; member, Institute for Advanced Study, 1942; Guggenheim Fellow, 1941-1942 and 1955-1956; University of California at Berkeley: lecturer, 1942-1946, professor, 1946-1968, emeritus professor of mathematics, 1968-1983. Honors and Awards: Alfred Jurzykowski Foundation Award, 1966; member, National Academy of Sciences; member, Royal Netherlands Academy of Science; honorary member, Netherlands Mathematical Society; UC Berkeley Citation, 1981. Emeritus professor of mathematics Alfred Tarski, widely regarded as one of the four greatest logicians of all time (along with Aristotle, Gottlob, Frege, and Kurt Gödel), passed away on October 27, 1983, at the age of 82. A great teacher and influential scientific leader as well as a profound thinker, Tarski arrived in Berkeley in 1942 at the age of 41 and built up what is often cited as the outstanding center for research in logic and the foundations of mathematics in the world. His mathematical treatment of the semantics of languages and the concept of truth has had revolutionary consequences, which can be drawn from the possibility of giving a general treatment of the concept of truth in formal mathematical languages in a rigorous mathematical way. Among such consequences is his celebrated theorem that the set of true sentences of any sufficiently expressive formal language cannot be defined in that language itself (although it can be defined in a richer language). -
