Mojżesz Presburger (1904–1943?) was a Poland Jewish mathematician, logician, and philosopher. He was a student of Alfred Tarski and is known for, among other things, having invented Presburger arithmetic as a student in 1929.[3][4][5]
He was born in Warsaw on 27 December 1904 and died in the Holocaust, probably 1943.[6][7][8][9]
In 2010, the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science began conferring the annual Presburger Award (named after Mojżesz Presburger) to a young scientist (in exceptional cases to several young scientists) for outstanding contributions in theoretical computer science. Mikołaj Bojańczyk was the first recipient.
