Foreword on the special issue dedicated to the 70th anniversary of prof. Peter Tallos PU.M.A. Vol. 30 (2022), No. 3, pp. i–i, DOI:10.2478/puma-2022-0027 Foreword on the special issue dedicated to the 70th anniversary of prof. Peter Tallos Péter Medvegyev Department of Mathematics Corvinus University of Budapest Budapest, Hungary (Received: August 2, 2022) This issue of the PU.M.A. is dedicated to the 70th birthday of Peter Tal- los. For all his professional life Peter Tallos was working for the Department of Mathematics of the Corvinus University Budapest. Of course during the previous nearly fifty years the University and the Department of Mathematics had many names. But there were one fixed point. Peter was there and he served the department and the students with great care and devotion. For more than 20 years he served as head of the department and director of the different organizations containing the math department. Perhaps his main characteristic is that he was not just working for the insti- tution but he was really serving it. Peter is an excellent teacher, who obviously has a great charisma. To teach mathematics for economists is not an obvious task. Generally most of the students just want to pass the exam. But when Peter was teaching the students did not want just pass, they also wanted to understand mathematics. The main reason is that he was very deeply under- standing the fundamental message of mathematics and gave the students exactly what they needed to get. Appreciation of clear thinking. But Peter is not only an excellent teacher but he is a good researcher. In this volume his colleagues and friends have published some articles related to his research interest. In my article one can find some reflections on a problem which I have founded most interesting when I joined the department about twenty years ago. This time after István Dancs he was the head of the department, and the math de- partment had a very friendly and open atmosphere. The main characteristic was that the members of the department loved their work, loved teaching, loved mathematics and of course loved teaching mathematics very much. We dis- cussed everything. From very abstract questions of mathematics to very basic axiomatic issues. We have tried to fly and we have tried to dig as deep as we could. Whenever I went to the department somebody had some problem about some details of some proof or some definition. I liked that environment and perhaps for all of us this was the happiest part of our professional life. In this special issue I try to recall the atmosphere of these lovely years. e-mail: medvegyev@uni-corvinus.hu, peter.medvegyev@gmail.com © 2022 Medvegyev.

Abstract

PU.M.A. Vol. 30 (2022), No. 3, pp. i–i, DOI:10.2478/puma-2022-0027 Foreword on the special issue dedicated to the 70th anniversary of prof. Peter Tallos Péter Medvegyev Department of Mathematics Corvinus University of Budapest Budapest, Hungary (Received: August 2, 2022) This issue of the PU.M.A. is dedicated to the 70th birthday of Peter Tal- los. For all his professional life Peter Tallos was working for the Department of Mathematics of the Corvinus University Budapest. Of course during the previous nearly fifty years the University and the Department of Mathematics had many names. But there were one fixed point. Peter was there and he served the department and the students with great care and devotion. For more than 20 years he served as head of the department and director of the different organizations containing the math department. Perhaps his main characteristic is that he was not just working for the insti- tution but he was really serving it. Peter is an excellent teacher, who obviously has a great charisma. To teach mathematics for economists is not an obvious task. Generally most of the students just want to pass the exam. But when Peter was teaching the students did not want just pass, they also wanted to understand mathematics. The main reason is that he was very deeply under- standing the fundamental message of mathematics and gave the students exactly what they needed to get. Appreciation of clear thinking. But Peter is not only an excellent teacher but he is a good researcher. In this volume his colleagues and friends have published some articles related to his research interest. In my article one can find some reflections on a problem which I have founded most interesting when I joined the department about twenty years ago. This time after István Dancs he was the head of the department, and the math de- partment had a very friendly and open atmosphere. The main characteristic was that the members of the department loved their work, loved teaching, loved mathematics and of course loved teaching mathematics very much. We dis- cussed everything.
