Description
A lively mathematics community developed in Poland between the world wars. One result of this was the genesis of The Scottish Book, a collection of problems, many to this day unsolved. The Scottish Book is a record of informal discussions by many of today's leading mathematicians on topics ranging from summability theory, functional and real analysis, group, measure, and set theory, and probability.
