Abstract

The first section of this chapter describes Alfred Tarski's childhood, schooling, and initial university studies in Warsaw, the city that in 1918 became the capital of the new independent Polish republic. The second section provides background for his first publication, a paper on set theory and logic that he completed while still a student. That paper is translated in the next chapter.
