As of 2007, 13 Hungarians (who were born in Hungary) had received a Nobel prize, i.e.
more than Japan, China, India, Australia or Spain.
A further eight scientists (of Hungarian origin on both sides) were born abroad.
Hungary is famous for its excellent mathematics education which has trained numerous outstanding scientists.
Famous Hungarian mathematicians include Paul Erdős (Erdős Pál), famed for publishing in over forty languages and whose Erdős numbers are still tracked; János (John) Bolyai (Bolyai János), designer of non-Euclidean (or "absolute") geometry in 1831; and John von Neumann (Neumann János), a pioneer of digital computing.
Many Hungarian Jewish scientists, including Erdős, von Neumann, Edward Teller (Teller Ede), and Eugene Wigner (Wigner Jenő), fled rising anti-Semitism in Europe and made their most famous contributions in the United States.
Hungarian inventions include the noiseless match (János Irinyi), the electric motor and first Electrical generator (Ányos Jedlik), Rubik's cube (Ernő Rubik), and the krypton electric bulb with tungsten (Imre Bródy).
Several other inventions were made by Hungarians who fled the country prior to World War II, including holography (Dennis Gabor), the ballpoint pen (László Bíró), the theory of the hydrogen bomb (Edward Teller (Teller Ede), and the BASIC programming language (John Kemeny, with Thomas E.
Kurtz).
Ányos Jedlik, he is considered to be the Unsung Father of the Dynamo and Electric Motor.
