Jan Mycielski
Jan Mycielski (Polish: [jan mɨˈt͡ɕɛlskʲi]; February 7, 1932 – January 18, 2025) was a Polish-American mathematician, logician and philosopher, who was a professor of mathematics at the University of Colorado at Boulder. He is known for contributions to graph theory, combinatorics, set theory, topology and the philosophy of mathematics.
Mycielski was born in Wiśniowa, Podkarpackie Voivodeship, Poland on February 2, 1932.
Mycielski received his Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Wrocław in 1957 under the supervision of Stanisław Hartman. His dissertation was entitled "Applications of Free Groups to Geometrical Constructions". Following positions at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique in Paris, the Institute of Mathematics of the Polish Academy of Sciences, the University of California, Berkeley, and Case Western Reserve University, he took a permanent faculty position at Colorado in 1969.
Mycielski died in January 2025, at the age of 92.
Among the mathematical concepts named after Mycielski are:
In 1965, he received the Stefan Banach Prize of the Polish Mathematical Society.
In 1990, he was awarded the Wacław Sierpiński Medal and Lecture by the Polish Mathematical Society.
In 2012, he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.
