| Title of Talk | The Toeplitz-Silverman Theorem |
| Abstract | In the first two decades of the twentieth century summability developed from collection of special results used in other parts of analysis into a full-blown field. One of the main points of this transition was a collection of general results that gave conditions for a method to sum every convergent sequence. Papers by Toeplitz, Silverman, Kojima, Schur and others established these theorems. This note will look at the development of these conditions and, as time permits, the reoccurrence of these results in the early day of the "Polish" school of functional analysis. |
