Editing Julian Sochocki (section)

==Life and work==

Sochocki was born in [[Warsaw]] under the [[Russia]]n domination to a Polish family, where he attended state gymnasium. In 1860 he registered at the physico-mathematical department of [[Saint Petersburg State University|St Petersburg University]]. His study there was interrupted for the period 1860–1865 because of his involvement with Polish patriotic movement: he had to return to Warsaw to escape prosecution.<ref name=Steffens/>

In 1866 he graduated from the Department of Physics and Mathematics at the [[Saint Petersburg State University|University of Saint Petersburg]]. In 1868 he received his master's degree and in 1873 his [[Doctor of Philosophy|doctorate]]. His master's dissertation, practically the first text in Russian mathematical literature on [[Augustin Louis Cauchy|Cauchy]] method of [[residue theorem|residues]], was published in 1868. The dissertation itself contains many original grasps, which have been also ascribed to other mathematicians. His doctoral thesis contains the famous [[Sokhotski–Plemelj theorem]].

From 1868 Sochotcki lectured at the St Petersburg university, first as the "privat-docent", from 1882 as an ordinary professor, and from 1893 as a merited professor. In 1894 he was elected corresponding member of the [[Polish Academy of Learning|Polish Academy of Arts and Sciences]].<ref>{{cite book|title=Rocznik dem Akademii Umiejętności 1895/6|publisher=Spółki Wydawniczej Polskiej|year=1896|location=Krakow|page=28}}</ref>
