Lwów School of Mathematics
- Lwów School of Mathematics
The Lwów School of Mathematics ( _pl. lwowska szkoła matematyczna; _uk. Львівська математична школа) was a group of mathematicians who worked between the two World Wars in Lviv, which was then in Poland and is now in western Ukraine. They often met at the famous Scottish Café to discuss mathematical problems, and published in the journal "Studia Mathematica", founded in 1929.
Many of the mathematicians, especially those of Jewish background, fled this southeastern part of Poland in 1941 when it became clear that it would be invaded by Germany. Few of the mathematicians survived World War II, but after the war a group including some of the original community carried on their work in western Poland's Wrocław, the successor city to prewar Lwów. A number of the prewar mathematicians, prominent among them Stanisław Ulam, became famous for work done in the West.
Notable members of the Lwów School of Mathematics included:
* Stefan Banach
* Feliks Barański
* Władysław Orlicz
* Stanisław Saks
* Hugo Steinhaus
* Stanisław Mazur
