In the history of mathematics, Wacław Marzantowicz is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Wacław Marzantowicz as Polish mathematician.
Wacław Marzantowicz was born at Poznań in 1950. His recorded nationality is Poland. He studied at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań and Polish Academy of Sciences.
Twentieth-century mathematics became abstract and highly specialised, and its methods reached into physics, economics and computing.
His academic posts were held at University of Gdańsk.
The recorded fields of work are mathematics.
Mathematical work is judged by whether anyone can build on it, and that judgement takes decades.
Recognition followed: Stefan Banach Prize (2003).
That the work was done from Poland matters: mathematical training, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
