Stefan Banach

Stefan Banach was an original member of the Lwów School of Mathematics and founder of modern functional analysis.

With the help of Steinhaus’ academic connections, Banach founded modern functional analysis, an entirely new branch of mathematics. Functional analysis focuses on classes of functions, such as those that can be differentiated or integrated.” Groupings of such objects are called spaces. He died in August that year. Banach was interested in maths from a young age. During the war he met Hugo Steinhaus one of the most celebrated mathematicians of the time, in Krakow, and Steinhaus became fascinated with him and his abilities, given that he was largely self-taught.

One can imagine that the ultimate mathematician is one who can see analogies between analogies.” The medal is awarded by the Presidium of the academy for outstanding achievements in mathematical sciences. He said: “Sundays belonged to me. He believed that everyone should earn a living through his hobby.” During this time he instead taught in local schools. Following the publication of his thesis, Banach was hired as a professor at Lwów Polytechnic. In the following years, Banach went on to become accepted as a member of the Polish Academy of Learning and also headed the second Chair of Mathematics at University of Lwów.

A louse-feeder was a human sources of blood for lice infected with typhus, which were then used to research possible vaccines against the disease. Functional analysis focuses on classes of functions, such as those that can be differentiated or integrated.” With the help of Steinhaus’ academic connections, Banach founded modern functional analysis, an entirely new branch of mathematics. Groupings of such objects are called spaces. After the takeover of the city by Nazi Germany in World War 2, all universities were closed. Banach was born in Kraków, Poland in 1892 - then part of then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. He never knew his mother, and his father sent him to be raised by family in the city.

The Google Doodle on Friday, July 22, honours renowned Polish Mathematician Stefan Banach who lived from 1892 to 1945.

In his spare time, the self-taught mathematician wrote mathematical papers. It is also surrounded by numbers to indicate his profession and achievements in the field of Mathematics. A mathematician is a person who can find analogies between theorems; a better mathematician is one who can see analogies between proofs and the best mathematician can notice analogies between theories. Born in Kraków, Poland, Stefan grew up without his parents. He was deemed unfit for military service during World War I due to his poor eyesight. He is also one of the original founding members of the Lwów School of Mathematics.
