Throughout his career, he taught mathematics and logic at universities and sometimes in secondary schools. Many of his writings before 1939 were in Polish and remained inaccessible to most mathematicians and historians until now. This self-contained book focuses on Tarski?s early contributions to geometry and mathematics education, including the famous Banach?Tarski paradoxical decomposition of a sphere as well as high school mathematical topics and pedagogy. These themes are significant since Tarski?s later research on geometry and its foundations stemmed in part from his early employment as a high school mathematics teacher and teacher-trainer. The book contains careful translations and much newly uncovered social background of these works written during Tarski?s years in Poland. Alfred Tarski: Early Work in Poland?Geometry and Teaching serves the mathematical, educational, philosophical, and historical communities by publishing Tarski?s early writings in a broadly accessible form, providing background from archival work in Poland, and updating Tarski?s bibliography. 606 $aMathematical logic 606 $aMathematics?Study and teaching  606 $aMathematics 606 $aHistory 606 $aGeometry 606 $aMathematical Logic and Foundations$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M24005 606 $aMathematics Education$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O25000 606 $aHistory of Mathematical Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M23009 606 $aGeometry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M21006 615 0$aMathematical logic. 615 0$aMathematics?Study and teaching . 615 0$aMathematics. 615 0$aHistory. 615 0$aGeometry. 615 14$aMathematical Logic and Foundations. 615 24$aMathematics Education. 615 24$aHistory of Mathematical Sciences. 615 24$aGeometry. 676 $a160 676 $a370 702 $aMcFarland$b Andrew$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aMcFarland$b Joanna$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aSmith$b James T$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299976103321 996 $aAlfred Tarski$91410664 997 $aUNINA
