Lviv math school
The Lviv School of Mathematicians ( Lwowska szkoła matematyczna in Polish , Львівська математична школа in Ukrainian ) was one of the three centers of the Polish School of Mathematicians , along with the Warsaw and Cracow Schools of Mathematicians . The Lwów School of Mathematics was in the years 1918 - 1939 formed by a mathematician group Lemberger universities worked ( Lvov is the Polish at the time Lwów , and the Ukrainian today Lviv ). The most important member and the unofficial head of the school was the mathematician Stefan Banach . A major publication organ of the Lviv mathematicians was the journal Studia Mathematica founded in 1929 . Many members of the Lviv mathematicians' circle, as well as many Polish mathematicians in general, were murdered during the time of the occupation of Poland by the National Socialists or the Soviet occupiers (Lemberg was in the Soviet-occupied part from 1939-41 ), especially in the context of the mass murders in Lviv in the summer of 1941 .

Functional analysis was a focus of the work . The group was characterized by intensive discussions in the Kawiarnia Szkocka café , which were recorded in the so-called " Scottish Book ". The mathematician Ulam, who later worked in the USA , recorded the problems discussed there in books, but above all made an English translation of the Scottish book in 1957.
