- Jan Mikusinski
Prof. Jan Mikusiński (
April 3 , 1913 Stanisławów -July 27 ,1987 Katowice ) was a Polish mathematician known for his pioneering work inmathematical analysis . Mikusiński developed anoperational calculus - "44A40 Calculus of Mikusiński" , which is relevant for solvingdifferential equations . His operational calculus is based upon analgebra of the convolution of functions with respect to theFourier transform . From the convolution product he goes on to define what in other contexts is called the field of fractions or a quotient field. These ordered pairs of functions Mikusiński calls "operators" - "Mikusiński Operator , 44A40" . He's also well known forMikusinski's Cube andAntosik-Mikusiński Theorem ,Mikusiński convolution algebra etc. .Trivia
