Octav Onicescu developed invariant mechanics and, together with Gheorghe Mihoc, created the Romanian school of the theory of probability.
The Iasi school of mathematics was represented by Alexandru Myller through his work in differential geometry, Octav Mayer with his studies on projective geometry, and Mendel Haimovici who contributed to the Finsler varieties of differential geometry.
Dan Barbilian, who made important contributions to the fields of geometry, algebra and number theory and succeeded in constructing an axiomatics of the geometry of projective rings was also, under the pseudonym Ion Barbu, a great Romanian poet of the interbellum era.
