Biography
He was born in Sátoraljaújhely on 1 May 1921. He completed his elementary school in Tornyospálca, the secondary school in Kisvárda. His studies at the University of Debrecen were interrupted by the war (captivity). After six years in prison, he received a degree in mathematics from Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest. After the Nyíregyháza Vocational School and the Kölcsey Grammar School, he was admitted to the mathematics department of the Bessenyei György Teacher Training College in 1962. From 1969 to 1983 he was head of the department. For more than two decades he taught the future generation of teachers the basics of mathematical analysis, to whom he tried to pass on his knowledge and experience, and he was always happy to share it with his colleagues. Besides his professional security, he tried to shape his students with his own high standards. He was loved and respected by his colleagues and students, but the same can be said of mathematics teachers in the county, for whom he has organized and held numerous advanced lectures. He was not an ordinary individual, he was a true, well-educated teacher who was proficient not only in mathematics but also in physics, chemistry, and philosophy. His work is marked by numerous professional and methodological publications. He has written and edited several books and examples.
Work
His specialty was mathematical analysis.
Former member of the editorial board of Teaching Mathematics.
The Mathematical Competition named after Gyula Bereznai has been held annually since 1991.[1]
Quote from the publication A Simple Convergence Criterion:[2]
Thus Bereznai's theorem is:
|
One of his students, who had good results in other subjects, asked, "Mr. professor, is it because I am weak in maths? can I be a minister? " Uncle Gyuszi didn't think twice about answering: "Sure, you can be a minister, why not?"
