Andrzej Wojciech Trybulec ( born January 29, 1941 † September 11, 2013 ) was a Polish mathematician. He was the initiator and developer of the Mizar system. His main fields of interest were computer oriented formalization of mathematics ( computer-aided Formalisiserung of mathematics), computational linguistics and the semantics of programming languages.

Life

Trybulec was born as a son of Jan W. and Barbara H. Trybulec and grew up in Gdansk. He studied mathematics at the University of Warsaw and graduated in 1966 with a master 's degree. In 1974 he was awarded his doctorate for Dr. mathematics, the title of his dissertation was On the Movable Continua.

From 1967 to 1971 he was assistant professor at the Technical University in Warsaw. 1971 returned to the University of Warsaw to the Institute of Library and Information Science. In September and October 1973, he was a guest lecturer at the Institute of Scientic and Technical Information ( VINITI ) in Moscow, where he first discussed the idea of a machine readability of mathematical texts. Since 1978 until his death he was a professor at the Institute of Computer Science, University of Bialystok, interrupted by a visiting professor (1984 - 1985) at the Computer Science & Engineering Dept. the University of Connecticut in Storrs.

Trybulec was the founder and developer of Mizar Mizar Mathematical and founder of the Library ( MML ), the world's largest collection of strictly formalized mathematics.
