Janos Galambos (Galambos János in Hungarian, Born Zirc, Hungary, 1 September 1940) is a mathematician affiliated with Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. Dr. Galambos works on probability theory, number theory, statistics, and many other sub-specialties, and has published hundreds of papers and many books. Galambos earned his Ph.D. in 1963 from Eötvös Loránd University, under the supervision of Alfréd Rényi.[1][2] In 1993 he was elected external member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences,[3] and in 2001 he became a corresponding member of the Spanish Royal Academy of Engineering.[4]

gollark: Oh, how is the research going?
gollark: There's an issue with blasting gigawatts of X-rays through the atmosphere, but I guess you could have a relay beam the power to the surface from the power/laser systems.
gollark: You can work out the power just from the acceleration and mass, I think.
gollark: That must be a very powerful laser then.
gollark: I meant how fast is the 1000 ton sail decelerated?
