Education and career edit

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 [pl].[3] She became the first convenor of European Women in Mathematics, for 1993–1994.[2]

Books edit

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]
