Abstract

top
Samuel Fogelson is a forgotten Polish mathematician and statistician from Warsaw who was also a Soviet intelligence agent. There is no information about him in the Biographical Dictionary of Polish Mathematicians (2003) and the Polish Biographical Dictionary, but it is information in Wikipedia [3], where however it is written only on his espionage activity from the descriptions by A. Poczobut [6]–[8]. We want to present him as a mathematician and statistician from Warsaw, who published many papers, especially in descriptive statistics. We tried to give some of his achievements in mathematics and statistics. Also we mention briefly about his spying activities for the Soviet state.
