Hungary is famous for its excellent [[mathematics education]] which has trained numerous outstanding scientists. Famous Hungarian mathematicians include [[Paul Erdős]], famed for publishing in over forty languages and whose [[Erdős number]]s are still tracked; [[János Bolyai|János (John) Bolyai]], designer of [[non-Euclidian geometry|non-Euclidean]] (or "absolute") [[geometry]] in [[1831]];<ref name="HunInvent">[http://www.hungemb.com/damascus/hungarians_to_universal_culture.htm ''The Contribution of Hungarians to Universal Culture''] (includes inventors), Embassy of the Republic of Hungary, [[Damascus, Syria]], 2006.</ref>

Hungarians are very proud of their inventions. These include the noiseless [[match]] ([[János Irinyi|János Irínyi]]), the [[Rubik's cube]], the [[krypton]] electric bulb ([[Imre Bródy]], 1891–1944), and the aforementioned [[non-Euclidian geometry]]. A number of other important inventions, including [[holography]], the [[ballpoint pen]] (invented by the eponymous [[Laszlo Bíró]]), the theory of the [[hydrogen bomb]], and the [[BASIC programming language|BASIC]] [[programming language]],<ref name="HunInvent"/> were invented by Hungarians who fled the country prior to World War II.
