academic

Dániel Nagy is a Hungarian mathematician who represented Hungary at the 50th International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO 2009, Bremen, Germany). Competing as a 12th-grade student at the Fazekas Mihály Fővárosi Gyakorló Gimnázium in Budapest, he scored 23 points and won a bronze medal, placing 148th of 565 contestants. His per-problem scores were 7, 7, 1, 5, 3, 0. The IMO is the world's most prestigious pre-university mathematics competition, and a Hungarian IMO medal identifies him as one of the strongest young mathematicians of his cohort.

Notes
  • Won bronze for Hungary at IMO 2009 in Bremen with 23 points, ranked 148/565 (74.0th percentile); per-problem scores 7,7,1,5,3,0.Jul 2009
  • Competed for Hungary while a 12th-grade student at Fazekas Mihály Fővárosi Gyakorló Gimnázium, Budapest - Hungary's flagship mathematics secondary school, whose alumni dominate the national IMO team.Jul 2009
  • A distinct mathematician 'Dániel T. Nagy' earned a PhD in combinatorics at Eötvös Loránd University in 2018 (dissertation 'Posets and extremal set systems', advisor Gyula O.H. Katona) and publishes on extremal set theory; a strong candidate to be the same person as the 2009 IMO medalist (same first/last name, same city), but the middle initial 'T.' is not confirmed for the IMO contestant, so identity is unverified.Jan 2018
  • Listed in the IMO Hall of Fame for Hungary and in the national roster of Hungarian IMO contestants with one bronze medal (result code 'B').Jul 2009
