Some Józef Puzyna lecture courses

The following data regarding lecture courses given by Józef Puzyna at the University of Lwów is taken from several sources, but mostly it comes from S Domoradzki, The growth of mathematical culture in the Lvov area in the autonomy period (1870-1920) (Matfyzpress, Prague, 2011). We note that in Winter 1888-89, Puzyna is described as a docent, but by Winter 1890-91 he is listed as an extra-ordinary professor. He continued to be listed as an extra-ordinary professor until 1892-93 when he is listed as an ordinary professor. He died in March 1919 so his final lecture courses were delivered in the Winter semester of 1918-19.
