[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felix_Pollaczek wikipedia] - '''Felix Pollaczek''', Austrian-French engineer and mathematician, known for numerous contributions to number theory, mathematical analysis, mathematical physics and probability theory. He is best known for the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollaczek%E2%80%93Khinchine_formula Pollaczek–Khinchine formula] in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queueing_theory queueing theory] (1930), but we also find thePollaczek orthogonal polynomials.
'''Pollaczek''' studied at the Technical University of Vienna, got a M.Sc. in electrical engineering from Technical University of Brno (1920), and his Ph.D. in mathematics from University of Berlin (1922) on a dissertation entitled Über die Kreiskörper der l-ten und l2-ten Einheitswurzeln, advised by Issai Schur and based on results published first in 1917.[1]
He was employed by AEG in Berlin (1921–23), worked for Deutsche Bundespost (1923–33), moved to Paris where he was consulting teletraffic engineer to various institutions (1933–). In 1977 was awarded the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_von_Neumann_Theory_Prize John von Neumann Theory Prize], although his age prevented him from receiving the prize in person.
He married mathematician '''Hilda Geiringer''' in 1921, and they had a child, '''Magda''', in 1922. However, their marriage did not last, and '''Magda''' was brought up by '''Hilda'''.
