Design of engineering systems in Polish mines in the third quarter of the 20th century. (English) Zbl 1437.01013

This paper concerns co-operation between mathematicians and engineers in Poland (specifically, in Wrocław) in the second half of the twentieth century over the analysis of the effectiveness of engineering systems used in mining. As the authors point out, this co-operation served to introduce new methods of engineering design, and also opened up research topics in the theory of stochastic processes and in graph theory. A detailed overview of the relevant mathematics in context is followed by a series of appendices featuring short biographies of the figures involved in these projects, and materials on the latter that appeared in the newspaper ‘Życie Warszawy’.
