Âaw GoÃ
ÂÃÂ
b (July 26, 1902 â April 30, 1980) was a Polish mathematician from Kraków, working in particular on the field of affine geometry.
In 1932, he proved that the perimeter of the unit disc respect to a given metric can take any value in between 6 and 8, and that these extremal values are obtained if and only if the unit disc is an affine regular hexagon resp. a parallelogram.
He worked at the State Institute of Mathematics, which was incorporated into the Polish Academy of Sciences in 1952.
