Stanisław Zaremba (October 3, 1863 – November 23, 1942) was a Polish mathematician. His research in differential equations, applied mathematics, classical analysis, particularly on harmonic analysis, was widely recognized. He was a mathematician who contributed to the success of the Polish School of Mathematics through his teaching and organizational skills as well as through his research. Zaremba wrote a number of university textbooks and monographs. He was a professor of the Jagiellonian University (since
1900), member of Academy of Learning (since
1903), co-founder and president of the Polish Mathematical Society (1919). Zaremba was born on October 3, 1863 in Romanówka, Ukraine, and was first educated as an engineer. He went to Paris for graduate school and received his degree from the Sorbonne in 1889. He stayed in France until 1900, when he joined the faculty at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków. His years in France enabled him to establish a strong bridge between Polish mathematicians and those in France. He died on November 23, 1942 in Kraków, during the German occupation of Poland. |
