Technikatörténeti szemle 11. (1979)

TANULMÁNYOK - Vajda Pál: Creative Hungarians in mathematics, astronomy, physics, chemistry, technical sciences and industry. A selected bio-bibliography

We did not intend to give biographies; our sole aim was to present a list of creative scientists and teohnologists and their works which, we believe, have contributed to universal civilization. Their presentation has been limited by two considerations: our list contains only the names of deceased scientists and only those who have been mentioned in international literature.
