English Definition

The abstract science of numbers, quantities, and space. Poland produced the world-famous Lwów School of Mathematics (Stefan Banach, Hugo Steinhaus) in the interwar period — their work in functional analysis and game theory is foundational. Marian Rejewski used mathematics to crack the Enigma. Stefan Banach's contributions to functional analysis (Banach spaces) are pillars of modern mathematics.
