Polish mathematicians against the background of Polish history in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries
Antiquitates Mathematicae, Tome 10 (2016).
Dramatic historical events of the last two centuries in Poland (partitions, uprisings, wars, oppressions etc.) heavily influenced fates of all people, including mathematicians. Distinguishing several periods by the eventful years 1795, 1832, 1862, 1913, 1919, 1939, 1945, 1952, 1989, the author recalls some Polish mathematicians for each of them (in total over 50) to explain what they could or could not do and what they eventually assessed or lost. Despite all adversities the Polish mathematics emerged victorious and still keeps high standards.
