Franciszek Włodarski was a Polish mathematician working mainly in analytic geometry and projective geometry. In 1911 he defended his Ph.D. thesis "Projective geometry on the sphere in the vector calculus" at the University of Fribourg in Switzerland. He published seven scholarly papers and two textbooks, one in analytic geometry, the other one in geometric constructions. He also translated in 1917, from Italian into Polish, the book "Lectures on Projective Geometry" by Federigo Enriques, and this...
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.
