Józef Maria Hoene-Wronski (Polish: ['juz?f 'x?n? 'vr??sk?i]; French: Josef Hoëné-Wronski, pronounced [??ne v?onski]; 23 August 1776 – 9 August 1853) was a Polish Messianist philosopher, mathematician, physicist, inventor, lawyer, and economist.
He was born Hoene to a municipal architect in 1776 but changed his name in 1815. In 1803, Wronski joined the Marseille Observatory but was forced to leave the observatory after his theories were dismissed as grandiose rubbish.
In mathematics, Wronski introduced a novel series expansion for a function in response to Joseph Louis Lagrange's use of infinite series.
The coefficients in Wronski's new series form the Wronskian, a determinant Thomas Muir named in 1882.
