Gyula J. Obádovics

Hungarian mathematician

Gyula J. Obádovics is remembered in mathematics for work the next generation could build on.

The record lists Gyula J. Obádovics as Hungarian mathematician.

Gyula J. Obádovics was born at Baja in 1927. His recorded nationality is Hungary.

Twentieth-century mathematics became abstract and highly specialised, and its methods reached into physics, economics and computing.

Mathematics accumulates without discarding: a proof from two thousand years ago is still a proof.

That the work was done from Hungary matters: mathematical training, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
