Abstract: | As is well-known, an extraordinarily rapid development of the mathematical sciences has been taking place in Hungary since the turn of the century, whose center lies in the analytical schools of L. Fejér, F. and M. Riesz and A. Haar. The present paper aims to discuss briefly the questions: What were the deep causes of this progress? How did the work of a few great mathematicians contribute to the actual high level of analytical investigations, to their applications, and, in general, to the intensive mathematical life of today in Hungary? |
