Lajos Szilassi

Lajos Szilassi (born 1942 in Szentes, Hungary) is a Hungarian mathematician and college professor, with research in the area of geometry, including projective and non-Euclidean geometry.

The Szilassi polyhedron

The Szilassi polyhedron is named after him. It is a toroidal polyhedron with seven hexagonal faces, each pair of which share an edge; he published a paper describing it in 1986.

His life

Completed secondary school teaching degree in 1966 in mathematics and descriptive geometry majoring in József Attila University Bolyai Institute of. Six years of secondary school teaching experience has been in the JGYTFK math department, in 1981, received a bachelor's associate degree.

In 1978, his doctorate in 2006, received a PhD degree. He retired in 2007.

His work in the areas of geometry, elementary mathematics, computer science. Related to these areas of research in a variety of geometric problems in computer generated solutions and their relationship by demonstrating to carry out various tests.

gollark: Instead of the AI managing everything we should just have me.
gollark: This might be fixable if you have some kind of zero-knowledge voting thing and/or ways for smaller groups of people to decide to produce stuff.
gollark: If you require everyone/a majority to say "yes, let us make the thing" publicly, then you probably won't get any of the thing - if you say "yes, let us make the thing" then someone will probably go "wow, you are a bad/shameful person for supporting the thing".
gollark: Say most/many people like a thing, but the unfathomable mechanisms of culture™ have decided that it's bad/shameful/whatever. In our society, as long as it isn't something which a plurality of people *really* dislike, you can probably get it anyway since you don't need everyone's buy-in. And over time the thing might become more widely accepted by unfathomable mechanisms of culture™.
gollark: I also think that if you decide what to produce via social things instead of the current financial mechanisms, you would probably have less innovation (if you have a cool new thing™, you have to convince a lot of people it's a good idea, rather than just convincing a few specialized people that it's good enough to get some investment) and could get stuck in weird signalling loops.
