Gábor J. Székely worked in mathematics at a period when the field's own foundations were under discussion.
The record lists Gábor J. Székely as Hungarian mathematician.
Gábor J. Székely was born at Budapest in 1947. His recorded nationality is United States. He studied at Eötvös Loránd University.
Twentieth-century mathematics became abstract and highly specialised, and its methods reached into physics, economics and computing.
His academic posts were held at National Science Foundation.
The recorded fields of work are probability theory, mathematics and statistics.
A theorem is permanent in a way no experiment can be, which raises the standard for entry.
The honours record reads: Rollo Davidson Prize (1988).
That the work was done from United States matters: mathematical training, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
