Abstract:In this article we present diverse experiences of Polish mathematicians (in a broad sense) who during World War I fought for freedom of their homeland or conducted their research and teaching in difficult wartime circumstances. We first focus on those affiliated with Polish institutions of higher education: the existing Universities in Lwów in Kraków and the Lwów Polytechnics (Austro-Hungarian empire) as well as the reactivated University of Warsaw and the new Warsaw Polytechnics (the Polish Kingdom, formerly in the Russian empire). Then we consider the situations of Polish mathematicians in the Russian empire and other countries. We discuss not only individual fates, but also organizational efforts of many kinds (teaching at the academic level outside traditional institutions-- in Society for Scientific Courses in Warsaw and in Polish University College in Kiev; scientific societies in Kraków, Lwów, Moscow and Kiev; publishing activities) in order to illustrate the formation of modern Polish mathematical community.
