Abstract

The preceding portions of the book contain all of the translations and background information needed to accomplish the first two goals, except for a few short works, not concerned with geometry or teaching, that had been published only in Polish. Those are translated in chapter 15, with some background information for specific items. One of those short works has to do with politics; the rest, logic. The present chapter contains some general background for chapter 15 and concludes the biographical material in this book with an account of Tarski's 1939 voyage to the New World.
