József Szabados (born July 6, 1938) is a doctor of sciences in mathematics. His fields of research mainly include approximation theory, interpolation and weighted polynomial inequalities.

Family

His mother was housewife Anna Gotthárd. His father was assistant engraver Rezső Schaffler, who changed the family name to the Hungarian “Szabados” in order to escape the forced displacement of Hungarian Germans following World War II.

Papers and Academic Degrees

He graduated from Árpád Gimnázium high school in Budapest. He participated in mathematical competitions as early as in high school. He achieved second place at the Rákosi Mátyás mathematical competition in 1955 (the predecessor of today’s annual national competition for high school students). He started his studies at Eötvös Loránd University as a teacher of mathematics and physics, and completed the newly launched mathematician major in 1961. In 1966, he attained the rank of doctoral candidate, and in 1976, of doctor at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.

Life’s Work

Research

He has published two monographs (Interpolation of Functions[1] and Walsh Equiconvergence of Complex Interpolating Polynomials[2]), as well as close to 200 scientific articles. Half of these were written as part of domestic and international cooperation with close to 30 various co-authors, including Paul Erdős (consequently, the Erdős number of József Szabados is 1).

Teaching

Although his work is centered around research, he has also worked as a university professor, first as a demonstrator at the Eötvös Loránd University geometry department, then at the analysis department. He also held lectures at the Central European University, which at the time was headquartered in Budapest. In addition, he taught several semesters at foreign universities that offered him the opportunity to cooperate with colleagues also working in the field of approximation theory. As part of these programs, he has worked in Moscow and at five universities of the United States. For example, in 1982-83 he was invited by the Texas A&M University as a visiting researcher to the recently founded Center for Approximation Theory. Afterwards, he reported on his experiences, which were out of line with the mandatory communist rhetoric of the time, in the magazine Magyar Tudomány (Hungarian Science).

Editorial Work

He is also the editor of mathematical books and periodical publications. He has cooperated in the editing works of collections of papers published after conferences, as well as the commemorative publications of colleagues. He is on the editorial staff of several Hungarian and American, as well as one Chinese mathematical journal. He is deputy editor in chief of Acta Mathematica Hungarica.
