context_page_description: Józef Maria Hoene-Wroński was a Polish Messianist philosopher, mathematician, physicist, inventor, lawyer, occultist and economist. He was born Hoene to a municipal architect in 1776 but changed his name in 1815.
  In 1803, Wroński joined the Marseille Observatory but was forced to leave the observatory after his theories were dismissed as grandiose rubbish. In mathematics, Wroński introduced a novel series expansion for a function in response to Joseph Louis Lagrange's use of infinite series. The coefficients in Wroński's new series form the Wronskian, a determinant Thomas Muir named in 1882.
