I am a math teacher, cartographer, computer scientist, a senior research fellow at the Alfréd Rényi Institute of Mathematics. I have a PhD on map projections from the Eötvös Loránd University. I was a member of Lajos Pósa’s first weekend camp group, TO, as a student, and then participated in many other camps as a helper. I had previously been camp leader for groups Rozsomák, S and Okapi. Currently I am leading group Zooey.

I have a mathematician and a math teacher degree from the Eötvös Loránd University, and and economist degree from the Budapest Business School. After finishing my PhD at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics, I spent a few years as a researcher at SZTAKI and at BUTE. I have been with Morgan Stanley since 2006. I was a member of Lajos Pósa’s first weekend camp group, TO, as a student, and then participated in many other camps as a helper. I co-led the weekend camps of groups ZsA and ZsB with Lajos Pósa, and I have taught ninth graders at MaMuT for years.

Foundation employee, math teacher

I graduated from the Eötvös Loránd University as a math teacher. I first experienced the Pósa method during my high school years at the Eötvös József Gimnázium, as a student of Lajos Pósa. I have been an avid supporter of Pósa type joy mathematics. Every member of my family learned from Pósa: our daughters participated in the weekend camps. As a foundation employee, I lead the monthly Mini Camps for sixth graders.

Weekend camp group leader

I graduated from the Budapest University of Technology and Economics as a software engineer and from the Eötvös Loránd University as a mathematics and informatics teacher, and then worked as a software engineer at Google in Munich and at NNG in Budapest. I currently work with talented students as mathematics and programming tutor. I have been a PhD student at ELTE since 2018, where my focus is the discovery-based education of programming. I co-led the weekend camps of groups Lemur and Mongúz with Lajos Pósa, and I plan to conduct similar camps on algorithmic programming. I am also a frequent helper at Tech Camps.

Weekend camp group leader

I am a PhD student in algebraic geometry at the Central European University, and I teach at multiple places. Besides math, I read a lot, I do volunteer work with children in Kerecsend, and I play touch rugby. I actively participate in weekend camps, the MaMuT and the Flying School.

László Surányi

Flying School teacher, summer camp group leader

Between 1972 and 1982, I was a research mathematician at the Institute of Mathematics of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, I finished my doctorate degree in 1977. I did not find it satisfying because I am most interested in theoretical and practical problems in dialogical thinking. This is why I started teaching in 1977, and I taught mathematics from 1982 to 2013 at Fazekas Mihály Gimnázium. Currently I am giving extracurricular classes and am leading a seminar on mathematics, art and uniform evaluation at the Eötvös Loránd University.

Márta Táborné Vincze

Flying School teacher

I taught for the special math program at Fazekas Mihály Gimnázium from 1972 to 2015, and have been a lecturer at the Orthodox Jewish school in Wesselényi Street. I spent much of my long tenure with developing talent, and I also held extracurricular classes in Fazekas for external students. Since 2017, I often helped with Flying School sessions. It is important to me that talented students see the appropriate problems to develop their skills, and that they enjoy doing mathematics.

Sándor Dobos

Summer camp group leader

I have been teaching at Fazekas since 1992, and was a young teacher when I was first invited to the summer camps leading to MaMuT. I was very enthusiastic and completely inexperienced when I started. I was surrounded by a great environment, for which I am grateful to my colleagues and students. Math people can also recognize me as a trainer of Hungarian IMO team, or from my ocarina music during math sessions.

Flying School teacher, summer camp group leader

I was so impressed by Pósa camps as a student and as a helper that I have become a math teacher myself. I work at ELTE Radnóti Miklós Gimnázium, where besides teaching, I also supervise the student council’s work. I have participated as a helper or as a teacher in every MaMuT to date.

Tech Camp organizer

I like things that either mesmerize me, like classical music, or make me think, for example of myself. Math often does both simultaneously :) I graduated from the Eötvös Loránd University as a mathematician, and have worked at Emarsys as a data scientist since.
