Page "Stefan Banach" Paragraph 12

Young and talented, Banach gathered around him a large group of mathematicians.

The group, meeting in the Scottish Café, soon gave birth to the " Lwów School of Mathematics ".

In 1929 the group began publishing its own journal, Studia Mathematica, devoted primarily to Banach's field of study — functional analysis.

Around that time, Banach also began working on his best-known work, the first monograph on the general theory of linear-metric space.

First published in Polish in 1931, the following year it was also translated into French and gained wider recognition in European academic circles.

The book was also the first in a long series of mathematics monographs edited by Banach and his circle.
