Abstract
THE chair of pure mathematics at King‘s College, vacated by Prof. A. C. Offord on his appointment to the chair at Birkbeck College, has been filled by the election of Dr. Werner W. Rogosinski. Dr. Rogosinski studied at the Universities of Breslau, Freiburg and Gö ttingen. At the last-named he proceeded to the degree of doctor of philosophy in 1921. He held the appointment of Privatdozent and later Ausserordentliche Professor at the University of Kö nigsberg. In 1937 he came to Great Britain and did some teaching at Cambridge. Later he was appointed assistant in the Mathematics Department of the University of Aberdeen and in 1945 lecturer at King‘s College, University of Durham, where he was further raised to the status of reader in mathematical analysis in 1947. Dr. Rogosinski has written numerous papers on trigonometric series, Dirichlet‘s series and problems of complex analysis. He also published "Fouriersche Reihen" (Sammlung Schubert, 1930), and, with the late Prof. G. H. Hardy, the Cambridge Tract on "Fourier Series".
