Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 July 2016
Extract
Lajos Takács was born in Maglód, Hungary, on 21 August 1924. It was in this small town, 16 miles from Budapest, that he attended elementary school. He showed an early fascination with numbers, and worked on personal projects such as predicting the weight of the apricot harvest from 12 trees in the garden of the family home, by counting the buds on one tree in the spring.
