Pál Turán
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paul (Pál) Turán (August 28 1910–September 26 1976) was a mathematician who made contributions in number theory and group theory. He proved one of the first major results in extremal graph theory. He wrote several papers with Paul Erdős.
Turán was sent to labour camps at various times from 1940 to 1944. He is said to have been recognized and perhaps protected by a fascist guard, who, as a mathematics student, had admired Turán's work. <ref>P. Turan: A note of welcome, Journal of Graph Theory, 1(1977), 7-9.</ref>
He was married twice and had 3 sons.
