In the history of mathematics, Balázs Szegedy is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Balázs Szegedy as Hungarian mathematician.
Balázs Szegedy was born at Budapest in 1974. His recorded nationality is Hungary. He studied at Eötvös Loránd University.
Modern mathematics is collaborative and increasingly computational; proofs can now run to thousands of pages or depend on machine verification.
His academic posts were held at University of Toronto.
Mathematical work is judged by whether anyone can build on it, and that judgement takes decades.
Recognition followed: Coxeter–James Prize (2013) and European Prize in Combinatorics (2009).
That the work was done from Hungary matters: mathematical training, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Balázs Szegedy is still working, and the final assessment of the contribution has not been made.
