Young Banach used to discuss new and complicated maths problems and concepts. another professor Hugo Steinhaus heard Banach and became instant friends. both of them worked together on many revolutionary projects.
Steinhaus was the one who invented the probably and game theory. he was so proud that he met Stefan and he called him a great discovery.
Banach was the brain behind modern functional analysis, an entirely new branch of mathematics.
his work was so immense that the maths community named some of his works with his names like Banach spaces, Banach algebra, and the Banach-Steinhaus theorem. He was working in Kyiv which is invaded by Russia recently.
Stefan Banach legendery work:
Theory of topological vector spaces, measure theory, integration, the theory of sets, orthogonal series, and functional analysis.
During the world war, all the universities were closed and professor Banach and his son had to move to Rudolf Weigl’s typhus research. It was a research place for vaccines.
He was faced with lung cancer and died at the young age of 53.
