- Samuel Dickstein (mathematician)
Samuel Dickstein (May 12, 1851 – September 29, 1939) was a Polish mathematician.
He was born in Warsaw and was killed there by a German bomb at the beginning of World War II. All the members of his family were killed during the Holocaust.
Dickstein wrote many mathematical books. He was a bridge between the times of Cauchy and Poincaré and those of the Lwów School of Mathematics. He was also thanked by Alexander Macfarlane (mathematician) for contributing to the "Bibliography of Quaternions" (1904) published by the Quaternion Society (1899 - 1913).
