I would imagine it's still very good, at least on the theoretical side.
Hungary has perhaps the strongest mathematical tradition of any country, particularly in graph theory and other combinatorial math.
- wslh 13y agoI am not sure, that's why I am asking. On TopCoder Hungary is ranked #39. On the ACM https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACM_International_Collegiate_Programming_Contest https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACM_International_Collegiate_P... they are not in the top. On IMO http://www.imo-official.org/results.aspx http://www.imo-official.org/results.aspx the numbers are also not good.
- Vivtek 13y agoRemember that the population of Hungary is about 1/30th of that of the United States. Correct for population size and you may get more interesting statistics. You would not believe how excellent math education is here, and how important education is in the culture in general. Very stark difference from the United States.
