Abstract

This article is about Hoene-Wroński (1776–1853), one of the most original figures in the history of science. It was written on the basis of two talks delivered by the author during the session of Impanga “A tribute to Józef Hoene-Wroński”1, which took place on January 12 and 13, 2007 in the Institute of Mathematics of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw.

Translated by Jan Spaliński. This paper was originally published in the Polish journal Wiadomości Matematyczne (Ann. Soc. Math. Pol.) vol. 43 (2007). We thank the Editors of this journal for permission to reprint the paper.
