George Pólya: Works & Legacy

George Pólya (/ˈpoʊljə/; Hungarian: Pólya György ; December 13, 1887 – September 7, 1985) was a Hungarian-American mathematician. He was a professor of mathematics from 1914 to 1940 at ETH Zürich and from 1940 to 1953 at Stanford University. He made fundamental contributions to combinatorics, number theory, complex analysis, numerical analysis and…
