Summary/Abstract: Gheorge Ţiţeica was a Romanian Mathematician, a true pioneer, co-founder of the Mathematical Gazette, together with Ion Ionescu, Andrei G. Ioachimescu or Vasile Cristescu. The Romanian culture and history records Gheorge Ţiţeica as a great educator (following Spiru Haret’s model), an emblematic teacher figure at the end of the 19th century and early 20th century. He deeply loved nature, mountains, especially the Bucegi Mountains. His passion for numbers, exact sciences, but also for education or nature was transmitted to the three children he had with wife Florence Thierrin (1882–1965): Radu (1905–1987), Gabriela (1907–1987) and Șerban (1908–1985). So, his family became one of the most representative families for the Romanian spirit.
