Jan Lukasiewicz


 (* December 21st 1978 in Lvov, Austria, † February 13th 1956 in Dublin)

His major mathematical work centred on mathematical logic. He thought innovatively about traditional propositional logic, the principle of non-contradiction and the law of excluded middle.


Life

Lukasiewicz and his wife fled from Poland and in 1946 they were in exile in Belgium when he was offered a chair by the University of Dublin in Ireland.
