Could you clarify what does this mean (what is special about Hungary, Russia, Sweden)?
- kurthr 9y agoIn those countries women succeed in math and sciences at the same rate as men... Hungary is known for its mathematicians, and just about half are women. Unfortunately, they have to undergo genetic modification at the border.

- pedrosorio 9y agoI know the old guys - Erdos, Polya, Von Neumann, etc. Who are the up-and-coming Hungarian mathematicians in the 21st century?
- kurthr 9y agoEva and Gabor Tardos are two I'm familiar with, but there are many more. Another Hungarian woman, Marianna Csörnyei, proved the equivalence of the zero measure notions of infinite dimensional Banach spaces.
