Mark Kac (/ k ɑː t s / KAHTS; Polish: Marek Kac; August 3, 1914 – October 26, 1984) was a Polish-American mathematician. His main interest was probability theory. His question, "Can one hear the shape of a drum?" set off research into spectral theory, the idea of understanding the extent to which the spectrum allows one to read back the ...

Mark Kac pioneered the modern development of mathematical probability, in particular its applications to statistical physics. Mark Kac was born into a Jewish family in a Russian part of Poland. His date of birth was given as 3 August on his birth certificate and this was the day on which, throughout his life, he celebrated his birthday.

2022年1月29日 · 本文主要介绍由两位波兰裔美国籍数学家卡茨（M. Kac, 1914—1984）与乌拉姆（S. M. Ulam, 1909—1984）在 1968 年合作撰写的一本数学普及著作——《数学与逻辑》（Mathematics and Logic）。 波兰数学在 20 世纪 20 年代突然崛起，涌现了巴拿赫（S. Banach, 1892—1945）等一大批举世闻名的数学家，对现代数学的发展产生了不可估量的影响。 波兰数学之所以能够独树一帜，与他们对数学的认识与看法不无关系。 因此我们不禁好奇，以乌拉姆 …
