Abstract
A native of Russian Poland and a graduate of Warsaw University, Wacław Sierpiński became a prominent specialist in set theory in the 1910s. After Poland gained independence in 1918, he also became the founding father of a Polish school of mathematics that began to take shape in the 1920s through the journal Fundamenta Mathematicae. This essay examines the lives and scientifi c contributions of Sierpiński and his most renowned students, as well as some distinctive features of Polish mathematics during the interwar period.
