Andrzej Białynicki-Birula (26 December 1935 – 19 April 2021) was a Polish mathematician, best known for his work on algebraic geometry. [1] He was considered one of the pioneers of differential algebra. He was a member of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Białynicki-Birula was married to a paleontologist and phylogeneticist Magdalena Borsuk-Białynicka. [2]
Białynicki-Birula was born in Nowogrodek, Polish Republic, currently known as Navahrudak, West Belarus. His elder brother, Iwo Białynicki-Birula, was born two years earlier and is a theoretical physicist and a fellow member of the Polish Academy of Sciences. [3] [4]
Białynicki-Birula received his Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley in 1960. His thesis was written under the direction of Gerhard Hochschild. [5] Since 1970, he was Professor of Mathematics at Warsaw University, in 1977-1980 — Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics, Mechanics and Information; 1987-1990 — Vice Rector. [6]
