Jerzy Browkin (5 November 1934 to 23 November 2015) was a Polish mathematician who worked mainly in algebraic number theory and held a professorship at the Institute of Mathematics of the Polish Academy of Sciences. In 1994, together with Juliusz Brzezinski, he formulated the n-conjecture, a version of the abc conjecture that involves n integers for n greater than two. Beyond that conjecture and his position at the Academy, the source consulted records little of his career, so this entry rests on that short biography and is meant to be extended later from fuller sources such as obituaries and the publications of the Polish Academy.
