László Fejes Tóth was the founding father of the Hungarian school of
discrete geometry. He was a superb mathematician who had the rare
ability to raise important and beautiful questions. He made seminal contributions to the subject of geometry -
in fact, the term 'Intuitive Geometry' was coined by him. Besides being an active researcher, he also directed the Rényi Institute between 1970 and 1982.
László Fejes Tóth was born in Szeged, on 12 March 1915. To commemorate the 100th anniversary,
the Alfréd Rényi Institute of Mathematics, the Central European
University and the János Bolyai Mathematical Society are organizing an
international conference devoted to László Fejes Tóth's main areas of
interest. The topics to be covered include: discrete and combinatorial geometry, convex geometry and general convexity, the theory of packing, covering and tiling, computational geometry, rigidity theory, the geometry of numbers, crystallography and classical differential geometry.
