Anna B. Romanowska is a Polish mathematician specializing in abstract algebra. She is professor emeritus of algebra and combinatorics at the Warsaw University of Technology,[1] and was the first convenor of European Women in Mathematics.[2]

Education and career

Romanowska earned her Ph.D. in 1973 at the Warsaw University of Technology. Her dissertation, Toward an Algebraic Study of the Tone System, was supervised by Tadeusz Traczyk.[3] She became the first convenor of European Women in Mathematics, for 1993–1994.[2]

Books

Romanowska is the coauthor of three books on abstract algebra with Jonathan D. H. Smith:

  • Modal theory: an algebraic approach to order, geometry, and convexity (Heldermann, 1985)[4]
  • Post-modern algebra (Wiley, 1999)[5]
  • Modes (World Scientific, 2002)[6]
