The Polish army, led by Jan Sobieski, stopped the last wave of “migrants” on 11 September, 1683 at the Battle of Vienna. Three cheers for the Polish people.
A true European patriot, a true Polish patriot.
Didn't the country once disappear from the map, but the spirit of the people couldn't be destroyed. And later in history, it was Lech Walesa who brought down Soviet dominance of Eastern Europe. Good to see the voters showing some sense of history.
I'm looking for a name that has disappeared from politically correct lists of famous women. Poland had a great tradition for a school of Logic and Mathematics in the late 1800s. There was a female mathematician who travelled around Europe at the time when non-Euclidean Geometry was being developed in various universities. It is said she shared secrets as pillow talk and was perhaps responsible for the sharing of ideas that lead to simultaneous developments in NonEuclidean Geometry.
Lists of female mathematitians through history have been made so dull by the censors. I can't even find her name.
