Lajos Szilassi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lajos Szilassi (born in 1942 in Szentes, Hungary) was a professor of mathematics at the University of Szeged who worked in projective and non-Euclidean geometry, applying his research to computer generated solutions to geometric problems.[1]
Szilassi obtained his undergraduate degree in 1966 at the Bolyai Institute of the József Attila University, majoring in mathematical representation geometry. He taught for six years in a secondary school before joining the Department of Mathematics at Gyula Juhász Teacher Training College.[2] In 1981, he received a bachelor's associate degree. He then received his Doctor rerum naturalium degree at the University of Szeged (1978) under László Lovász with the dissertation Polyhedra bounded by pairwise adjacent faces.[3] He received his PhD in 2006.[4]
From 1973 until he retired in 2007, he was a professor of mathematics at the University of Szeged.[5] He worked in the areas of geometry, elementary mathematics, and computer science, with an emphasis on computer generated solutions of geometric problems.
