Jej autorem jest wybitny polski matematyk, profesor karol borsuk. Gdy Niemcyzamkneli Uniwersytet Warszawski, profesor zostal bez pracy.
http://www.superfarmer.pl/o-grze.html
Superfarmer to gra, która powsta³a w Warszawie w 1943 roku. Nosi³a wtedy tytu³ "Hodowla zwierz±tek" . Jej autorem jest wybitny polski matematyk, profesor Karol Borsuk . Gdy Niemcy zamknêli Uniwersytet Warszawski, profesor zosta³ bez pracy. W czasie wojny ludzie dokonywali cudów pomys³owo¶ci w poszukiwaniu ¼róde³ utrzymania. Pomys³em profesora na ratowanie bud¿etu rodzinnego by³a sprzeda¿ gry. Zestawy do "Hodowli zwierz±tek" przygotowywa³a metodami domowymi ¿ona profesora, pani Zofia Borsukowa . Autork± rysunków zwierz±tek by³a pani Janina ¦liwicka. Gra zyska³a wielk± popularno¶æ - najpierw w¶ród przyjació³ rodziny, a potem w coraz szerszych krêgach osób znajomych i nieznajomych. W domu pañstwa Borsuków rozdzwoni³ siê telefon, a w s³uchawce, co i rusz mo¿na by³o us³yszeæ pytanie: Czy to hodowla zwierz±tek? Po potwierdzeniu nastêpowa³o zamówienie i gry trafia³y do sklepu. Gra bawi³a nie tylko dzieci, wci±ga³a tak¿e doros³ych, pomagaj±c im przetrwaæ smutne okupacyjne wieczory. Oryginalne egzemplarze gry sp³onê³y wraz z miastem w czasie powstania warszawskiego, w sierpniu 1944 roku. Szczê¶liwie jeden z egzemplarzy zachowa³ siê poza Warszaw± i wiele lat po wojnie wróci³ do rodziny Borsuków. W czerwcu 1997 roku z inicjatywy pani Zofii Borsukowej, z okazji jej 90 urodzin oraz w 15 rocznicê ¶mierci profesora Karola Borsuka "Hodowla zwierz±tek" zosta³a wydana przez Grannê pod tytu³em "Superfarmer", by bawiæ kolejne pokolenia dzieci i rodziców.

Krystyna M. Kuperberg
Aperiodic Dynamical Systems
San Antonio, Texas, 1999 Previous Index Next Krystyna Kuperberg started her graduate work in topology in 1966 under the supervision of Karol Borsuk. She obtained a master's degree at Warsaw University and left Poland in 1969 to live in Sweden. In 1972 she moved to Houston and continued the graduate work that she started in Warsaw. She obtained a Ph.D. degree in 1974 at Rice University studying with W.H. Jaco. That year, she and her husband took tenure track positions at Auburn University. Kuperberg was promoted to Full Professor in 1984 and was awarded an Alumni Professorship at Auburn in 1994, During the 24 years of her tenure at Auburn she visited Oklahoma State University in 1982-83, the Courant Institute in 1987, MSRI in 1994-95, and briefly, the University of Paris at Orsay in the summer of 1995. For many years Kuperberg worked primarily in topology, with some interest in discrete geometry. In 1987 she solved an old problem of Knaster concerning bi-homogeneity of continua. In the late 1980's she became interested in fixed points and topological aspects of dynamical systems. In 1993, she constructed a smooth counterexample to the Seifert conjecture, a smooth vector field on the three dimensional sphere without compact orbits. She continued the work on aperiodic flows jointly with her son, and she still works on related problems. Since 1993, she gave over 50 lectures on the subject, including an AMS Plenary Lecture in March 1995, an MAA Plenary Lecture in January 1996, and an ICM 1998 invited talk.

Shapes with No Boundaries: The Life of Krystyna Kuperberg
By Maja Wichrowska
Imagine an area of mathematics where shapes know no boundaries and can bend and twist like a piece of rubber. It is often said of people who study this odd subject, topology, that they can be found dipping a coffee cup into a doughnut because these two objects are "topologically equivalent." One such mathematician, Krystyna Kuperberg, was fascinated by the idea of a theoretical and abstract math that can transform and evolve. Mrs. Kuperberg , incredibly talented in her area, was first mesmerized by mathematics in the small town of Tarnow, Poland. The minute Mrs. Kuperberg entered the classroom as a young girl, she found that she was enchanted by the various numbers scrawled across the chalkboard. She enjoyed attending school in general, but especially watching as the teacher would explain challenging problems in math class. Her parents, both of whom had a higher education, encouraged her throughout her scholastic career, agreeing when Mrs. Kuperberg decided to major in mathematics. In 1962, she followed in the footsteps of her brother, Andrzej Trybulec, and entered the prestigious University of Warsaw. At Warsaw University, Andrzej Trybulec exclaimed that the only classes worth attending were Borsuk's lectures in topology. Karol Borsuk was intelligent and always well-prepared. One of his greatest qualities was that he would ask questions in and out of the classroom. If he did not know something, he would not hesitate to ask anyone who was more knowledgeable. He was the perfect role model for Mrs. Kuperberg and might have been one of the reasons she began to teach.
