Steinhaus and the Development of Polish Mathematics

Antoni Zygmund

Chapter Chapter 3 in The Scottish Book, 2015, pp 21-25 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The origin and history of the Scottish Book is described by Professor Ulam in his own lecture and I could not add much here. The book is a product of one of the mathematical schools in Poland, that of Lwów, while I myself, born and educated in Warsaw, belonged to what was then known, both in Poland and abroad, as the Warsaw mathematical school. There was a close collaboration between individuals of both schools, and though my personal contact with Lwów was rather loose, I was very much interested in the work going on there, and it had considerable influence on my own work.
