||1905 – Stanisław Mazur, Ukrainian-Polish mathematician and theorist (d. 1981) Stanisław Mazur (1 January 1905, Lemberg – 5 November 1981, Warsaw) was a Polish mathematician and a member of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mazur made important contributions to geometrical methods in linear and nonlinear functional analysis and to the study of Banach algebras. He was also interested in summability theory, infinite games and computable functions.
