	Mathematics. Introduction.
		The longest life among mathematicians, perhaps among all scientists, had Leopold Vietoris (1891/06/04-2002/04/09), who lived over a hundred and ten years.
		According to Nebula Search Leopold Vietoris lived to 110 years and 309 days old and became the oldest known living Austrian man. In so doing he became a rare example of a supercentenarian already known for some other achievement.
		Indeed, Vietoris had a great impact on general and algebraic topology, and on set theory.

		This time of prosperity ended suddenly, because of the decease of Hahn, the retirements of Furtwängler and Wirtinger, and the growing influence of National Socialism.
		This grave collapse could only be overcome by hiring again Johann Radon, and through the work and the activities of personalities such as Edmund Hlawka, Leopold Schmetterer, Wolfgang Schmidt, and a few others, such as, for example, the then Rektor (= President of University) Nikolaus Hofreiter, an excellent organiser.
