Andrzej Bobola Maria Schinzel (born April 5, 1937 in Sandomierz, Poland)[1] is a Polishmathematician, studying mainly number theory.

Biography

Schinzel received his Ph.D. in 1960 from Warsaw University,[2] where he studied under Wacław Sierpiński.

He is a professor at the Institute of Mathematics of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IM PAN).

His principal interest is the theory of polynomials. A conjecture of his on the prime values of polynomials, known as Schinzel's hypothesis H, has attracted the attention of many number theorists.

Schinzel is the author of over 200 research articles in various branches of arithmetics, including elementary, analytic and algebraic number theory. He has also been the editor of Acta Arithmetica for over four decades.
