Abstract

Publisher Summary This chapter describes some events and persons connected with Lviv mathematics (1892–1945). One of the first Lviv mathematicians having a substantial influence on the development of mathematics in Lviv was Jozef Puzyna. Stefan Banach was a student of engineering Lviv Polytechnica. The main achievements of the Lviv School are the creation of the fundamentals of functional analysis introducing topological methods and interpretation of probability as a measure and application of probability methods to Fourier series. A characteristic feature of Lviv mathematicians was masterful manipulation with non-constructive methods: the axiom of choice, Baire categories, and Lebesgue integral.
