The History of the Mathematical Statistics Group at the Horticultural Faculty of the Central College of Agriculture in Warsaw, and the Biometric Laboratory at the Marceli Nencki Institute of the Warsaw Scientific Society

The beginning of education of mathematical statistics at the Central College of Agriculture in Warsaw is connected with Jerzy Neyman, who was a lecturer at the Faculty of Horticulture since 1923. The Mathematical Statistics Group was established in 1928, under his leadership. In the same year he organized a Biometric Laboratory at the Marceli Nencki Institute. This paper introduces the history of these two Groups.
