Budapest Semesters in Mathematics

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Budapest Semesters in Mathematics program is a study abroad opportunity for North American undergraduate students in Budapest, Hungary. The coursework is primarily mathematical and conducted in English by Hungarian professors, drawn primarily from Eötvös Loránd University and The Alfréd Rényi Institute of Mathematics, part of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. Originally started by László Lovász, László Babai, Vera Sós, and Pál Erdős, the first semester was conducted in Spring 1985. The program is currently run by Paul D. Humke, the North American Director, and Dezsõ Miklós, the Hungarian Director.
