History

Józef Marcinkiewicz & Antoni Zygmund

 

The original of this picture has been stored in the archives of the Mathematical Institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences at the Gdansk branch in Sopot. The picture was taken in 1933 on the occasion of the 11th Math-Phys and Astronomy Student Circles Meeting in Vilnius (May 25-28, 1933). It was a national event. The photo was taken in the Congress Hall at the Vilnius University.

This survey written by Prof. Roman Sznajder covers Marcinkiewicz's major achievements.

 


Marcinkiewicz and Zygmund are in the back row: fourth and fifth to the left, respectively.

Raphael Salem's 1950 Lectures on Reisz products
These notes were taken by John Horvath who later spent his career as Professor of Mathematics at UMD. John made these notes available to John Benedetto in the 1980s. Horvath, a Hungarian, was a student of Frederic Riesz, and he did postdoctoral work in Paris at the same time that Kahane and Malliavin were there. Salem (who has a fascinating history) would have been lecturing to all of them. Horvath had a position in Columbia, South America, and he arrived at Maryland in the late 1950s. Because of him, we had marvelous visitors at UMD including Marcel Riesz, Dieudonne, L. Schwartz, and many other luminaries.
In these declassified notes, John Nash discussed with the NSA a new encryption-decryption machine and antipated many of the central topics of modern cryptography.
