Life and career
editBorn in Wilno, Second Polish Republic (now Vilnius, Lithuania), he was a student of Hugo Steinhaus. At the age of 26 he became professor at Warsaw University. In 1959, he became a professor at the Wrocław University of Technology. He was the advisor of 18 PhD theses.[1] His main research areas were measure theory, functional analysis, foundations of mathematics and probability theory. Several theorems bear his name: the Ryll-Nardzewski fixed point theorem,[3] the Ryll-Nardzewski theorem[4][5] in model theory, and the Kuratowski and Ryll-Nardzewski measurable selection theorem.[6][7][8]
He became a member of the Polish Academy of Sciences in 1967.[2] He died in 2015 at the age of 88[2][9] and he is buried in Wrocław at Grabiszyński Cemetery.[10]
