Mathematics Is Made by Mathematicians

Abstract

In the last chapter of this book, I intend to describe more than just life and work of world-famous mathematicians whose names can be found in any Who’s Who in Science. Since it was impossible to mention all colleagues who contributed to Banach space theory, the result is a subjective selection, heavily influenced by my knowledge and taste. I hope that the readers will accept my sincere apologies for any omissions and misjudgments.
