Józef Marcinkiewicz
Józef Marcinkiewicz (born March 30, 1910 in Cimoszka , near Białystok , † 1940 in Katyn ) was a Polish mathematician .
Marcinkiewicz studied with Antoni Zygmund and received his doctorate in 1933. He later worked with Juliusz Schauder and Stefan Kaczmarz . In 1939 he received a scholarship and went to Paris . With the beginning of the Second World War he returned to Poland. There he took part in military operations. He was captured and interned as a prisoner of war by Soviet troops in the Starobilsk camp and murdered in the Katyn massacre in 1940. His parents were also killed under the Soviet occupation.
Although he only worked scientifically for six years, he wrote more than 50 scientific papers on subjects such as theory of real functions, function theory , trigonometric series, interpolation theory, and probability theory . In addition to his important work and results, many of Marcinkiewicz's ideas still move mathematics today. One of the most important results of his work are the “Marcinkiewicz integrals”.
