Summary/Abstract: About eminent mathematician Gheorghe Ţiţeica, one of the founders of the prestigious scientific journal „Mathematical Gazette” brilliant teacher and scholar has been written and will be write many articles. In my humble approach seeking to introduce some less known sequences, as I have discovered over time in the collective consciousness of the communities that link to the name of the great scientist. His parents, Stanca and Radu ŢIŢEI (not ŢIŢEICA), born in Cilibia town, Buzau County, before settling in Turnu Severin, were known, in the second half of the nineteenth century, as the family of „the ministry” and their relatives, to the fourth generation, today living in Mânzu villages, Poşta, Bentu and Găvăneşti, are proud of their distinguished predecessor. Children of the scientist Gheorghe Ţiţeica, Radu, Gabriela and Şerban carried on the tradition of their father and became brand professors in chemistry, geology, physics and mathematics, the first ones received the prize of the Romanian Academy, and the third became Member and Vice-President of this prestigious institution. In the mid 1970s, Ph.D. Professor Radu Ţiţeica teaches at the Oil and Gas University, being one of the most esteemed teachers. His name appears alongside that of academicians Nicolae Petrulian, Alexandru Codarcea, Gheorghe Macovei, Sabba Ştefănescu and other great professors in the book „OIL, DEVELOPMENT AND (IN) SECURITY” – SIPG Publishing House, Bucharest, second edition, which I have edited it in 2008.
