This year’s centenary of regaining independence by Poland and the 100th anniversary of the establishment of Statistics Poland provide an opportunity to remind and popularise pioneers and outstanding Polish statisticians. With this in mind, a publication entitled Polish statisticians was created. The aim of the publication is to preserve the memory of the people who contributed to the organisation, development and popularisation of statistics in Poland and in the international arena. The publication presents biographies of thirty persons – eminent scientists and educators, discoverers of new methods and theories – who made a significant contribution to the development of statistics. Reading the biograms brings closer the evolution of statistical thought and helps to understand its universality, indicating the links with other disciplines of science. We hope that this publication will be a valuable item in the library of every reader interested in statistics as a science describing the world around us and the phenomena occurring in it.

Introduction Achievements of Polish statistics have been significant in the international arena for several decades and we cannot forget about their creators. In order to preserve the memory of all the people who, by their scientific, didactic, publishing, organising and popularising work, created the basis for the development of statistics in Poland, we prepared a publication entitled “Polish statisticians”. By introducing this publication to the Readers on the hundred anniversary of the establishment of Statistics Poland, we hope that it will enrich the knowledge of the history of Polish statistics. The characters, whose biographies are provided in this publication, were selected as a result of careful thought of the Editorial Board. The chosen ones are people known for their outstanding scientific and didactic activity, authors of research works and coursebooks, creators of new concepts, discoverers of new methods and theories, prominent organisers of official statistics as well as editors and publishers of statistical publications. Careful attention was devoted to the selection of the authors of biograms also. Aiming at the credibility of provided information, the personal and environmental closeness of the author of the biogram to the described character as well as easy access to the source materials were considered as a priority. The Editorial Board of the publication would like to thank all the people who contributed to the creation of this work, and, above all, the authors of the individual biograms. We would like to separately express gratitude to Dr Dominik Rozkrut – the President of Statistics Poland, for his kindness and support, without which this publication could not have appeared.

BAKSALARY (1944–2005) Jerzy K. Baksalary was born in Poznań on 25th June 1944. He studied mathematics at the Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry of the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, where he earned the master’s degree in 1969. Immediately after his graduation, he was employed at the Mathematics at the Higher School of Agriculture (which changed its name to Agricultural University in 1972, and in 2008 – to the Poznań University of Life Sciences). In 1975, this chair was incorporated into the inter-faculty Department of Math- ematical and Statistical Methods of the Agricultural University in Poznań. At that Depart- ment, currently a Chair, Jerzy K. Baksalary worked until 1988. In 1975, he earned a doctorate in mathematical sciences based on the dissertation titled Possibility of estimation of par- ametric functions in linear models (Estymowalność funkcji parametrycznych w modelach liniowych) written under the supervision of professor Tadeusz Caliński, Ph.D. He earned his degree of doctor habilitatus in mathematical sciences in the field of mathematics in 1984 on the basis of the dissertation titled A study of the equivalence between a Gauss-Markoff model and its augmentation by nuisance parameters, published in Series Statistics 15 (1984) 3–35; he earned both degrees at the Adam Mickiewicz University (at the Faculty of Math- ematics, Physics and Chemistry and the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics respectively). At that time, i.e. until 1988, Jerzy K. Baksalary published 85 papers, including 53 before and 32 after the habilitation. Mathematics was not the only one area of Jerzy K. Baksalary activity – he also took part in civic activity. In 1980–1981, he was one of the organisers and activists of Solidarity at the Agricultural University and the Poznań region. In 1988, Jerzy K. Baksalary moved to Zielona Góra, where he took up a post of docent at the Institute of Higher Mathematics of the Tadeusz Kotarbiński Pedagogical University (WSPTK). The academic year 1989/1990 was a significant year in Professor Baksalary’s career. As a professor of the Finnish Academy of Science and Letters, he conducted research at the University of Tampere, which resulted in publication of 22 papers dated 1989 or 1990 (as the author or a co-author). In 1990, on request submitted by the Coun- 7 cil of the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of the Adam Mickiewicz University, he was awarded the academic title of Professor of Mathematical Sciences. Having returned from Finland, Professor Baksalary combined his academic work with administrative activities. In 1990, he became the rector of the WSPTK, and he held this honourable function for two subsequent terms (1990–1993 and 1993–1996). At that time, he strengthened the staff of the institution and expanded its offer for students e.g. by establishing the Institute of Management, the Institute of Philosophy, foreign language colleges, and new academic courses, not strictly related to pedagogy. His publication record between 1991 and 1996 includes 23 papers. The Pedagogical Uni- versity became a place for annual meetings of mathematicians during the conferenc- es titled Zielona Góra’s Coallitions

  • Christianity Facing the Ageing of Global Population
    Dynamics DOI: 10.15503/jecs20152.240.256 Christianity facing the ageing of global population ANNA SANECKA Faculty of Theology, The Christian Theological Academy, ul. Miodowa 21 c, Warsaw, Poland. E-mail address: [email protected] Abstract The ageing population is a great challenge for the whole world including churches, Christian communities, Christian families and the so-called “Christian countries”. The respect and support for elderly people is almost a common rule of social life in develo- ped countries regardless of religious views. But in the Christian world this obligation has very strong religious justiÞ cation – obligation enshrined in the Commandments of Old (the fourth/Þ fth Commandment) and New (the second one of The Greatest Commandments of Love) Testaments. Therefore between the Christianity – understood as a set of diffe- rent communities sharing their beliefs in Jesus Christ – and aging population there are many very different connections including among others: honour and respect, privilege, obligations, giving – receiving relations, duty, charity, solidarity, dependency. They are present both in the teaching and the practice of different Christian communities starting with Churches, through NGOs and Christian societies, ending with Christian families. The paper shows some of these connections. It also tries – based on a case of Poland – to answer the question whether the Christianity is ready to face the aging of global population. Keywords: Christianity, Commandments, obligation, honour, respect, help, sup- port, charity, old age, elderly peoples, parents, churches, Christian communities, teaching, attitude Preface While the global population is getting older it demands from different outlo- oks, religions and ideologies to reconsider their attitudes towards this problem.

  • The Problem of Intuition in Mathematics in the Thoughts And
    RUCH FILOZOFICZNY LXXV 2019 4 Wiesław Wójcik Jan Długosz University, Częstochowa, Poland ORCID: 0000-0001-8132-3212 e-mail: [email protected] The Problem of Intuition in Mathematics in the Thoughts and Creativity of Selected Polish Mathematicians in the Context of the Nineteenth-Century Breakthrough in Mathematics DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.12775/RF.2019.063 Introduction Intuition is attributed to various properties. It is rather widely accepted as a kind of cognition and an essential element of the cognitive process. All attempts to replace it with formalization or rationalization ended with the discovery of the next, ”layers” of intuition, its functions and meanings. The formalization itself turned out to be strongly associated with intuition, and, even in rational thinking and cognition, intuition was found as it is necessary component. It is assumed, as opposed to discursive cognition, that it is direct, which means that it is not using in- ferences, proofs, symbols and language. This cognition uses images, it is sensible and holistic. Often, its action is not fully conscious and seems to be a part of the subconscious. It often appears as a component of cre- ativity in the form of inspirations, revelations, and sudden discoveries. Sometimes it leads infallibly to the goal, but often also deceives; intu- ition is attributed to both, feelings and reason. It is spread somewhere between the mystical (extrasensory), abstract and concrete, sensual and individual states. 160 Wiesław Wójcik Despite its ambiguous status, intuition also appears in cognition and mathematical creativity. It seems that its elimination from mathematics (and such attempts were made) is not possible, and striving towards its complete removal has led to adverse effects, e.g.

  • Kazirnierz Urbanik, the Founder and Editor-In-Chief of This Journal, And
    PROBABrnY AND ' MATHEMATICAL STATISTICS Kazirnierz Urbanik, the Founder and Editor-in-Chief of this journal, and Professor Emeritus of Mathematics at Wroclaw University, died of cancer Sunday, May 29, 2005, at the age of 75. His research, teaching and adrninis- trative work was decisive in creation of a major school in probability theory in Poland. Born in Krzernieniec in Eastern Poland, following the end of World War I1 and transfer of the city to Western Ukraine, he moved with his family to the western Polish territory of Lower Silesia, where he lived for the next sixty years, almost all of them in the regional capital city of Wrociaw. Urbanik, a two-term Rector of Wroclaw University and an Ordinary Member of the Polish Academy of Sciences, led the Institute of Mathematics in Wroclaw for several decades. His over 180 published scientific papers develop- ed novel approaches to problems of probability theory, the theory of stochas- tic processes, mathematical physics, and information theory. Today they are well known in the global mathematics research community. His favored tools were functional and analytic but he did not shrink from tackling diEicult un- soIved problems in universal algebra either. As an educator Urbanik was the principal advisor of seventeen doctoral students, who continued work on his ideas at academic institutions of five continents. His fairness, warmth, generosity and devotion to them were legen- dary and they reciprocated in kind. He loved doing and teaching mathematics and despite his long and incapacitating illness, about which he never com- plained, continued working with the students, publishing and fulfilling his edi- torial duties almost to the last days of his life.

    7 wania Eucharystii. Mogą ten obrzęd ozaiaczać, ale mogą się też odno­ sić do spożywania jakiegoś posiłku nie koniecznie sakralnego zresztą. 2. Formuła „łamanie chleba”, nieznana zupełnie w świecie helle­ nistycznym, a w tradycji żydowskiej określająca początek — albo niekiedy zakończenie posiłku —• zarówno zwykłego jak i świętej uczty, w Dz 2, 42 stanowi nawiązanie do Eucharystii, natomiast u Łk 24, 35 nie ma związku z Eucharystią i oznacza zwykły posiłek Jezusa, utrudzonego długą podróżą., 3. Znaczenie form osobowych czasownika „łamać”, mającego za dopełnienie rzeczownik „chleb”, jest zróżnicowane. W tekstach opi­ sujących ustanowienie Eucharystii stanowi określenie sprawowania Eucharystii, we wszystkich innych przypadkach —■ prócz 1 Kor 10, 16 —■ formuła „łamać chleb” nie ma nic wspólnego ze sprawowaniem Eucharystii. Warszawa BP KAZIMIERZ ROMANIUK Ks. Tadeusz Brzegowy PROROK NATAN I BUDOWA ŚWIĄTYNI Rozdział siódmy 2 Księgi Samuela, określany krótko jako „proroc­ two Natana”, należy do najbardziej znanych i studiowanych na prze­ strzeni Starego Testamentu, a nawet całej Biblii1. Powodem tego zainteresowania rozdziałem są zawarte w nim obietnice dynastyczne, aczynione przez Boga Dawidowi, przymierze Boga z Dawidem, me­ sjański wymiar i zasięg tych obietnic. Ale nie może ujść niczyjej uwagi, że tłem i punktem wyjścia do owych obietnic dla „domu Da­ widowego” jest inicjatywa Dawida zbudowania „domu” dla Jahwe, a więc świątyni2. I ten temat świątyni, albo szerzej miejsca świętego dla Jahwe występuje w naszym rozdziale z tą samą dobitnością. 1 Oto kilka wybranych studiów tej kwestii poświęconych L.
