Bronze Medal For Hungary At The 12th International Mathematical Olympiad (Keszthely, 1970); 20 Points, Rank 51 Of 112

Péter Borzsák competed for Hungary at the 12th International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO 1970) held at Keszthely, Hungary, where he won a bronze medal scoring 20 points (rank 51 of 112). He was a pupil of the I. István Gimnázium in Budapest and, in the same year, earned a commendation (dicséret) at the Kürschák József national mathematics competition; his teacher was Árpád Jelitai. He went on to appear among the researchers of the Hungarian operations-research community associated with the ELTE/SZTAKI school of András Prékopa.

Péter Borzsák represented Hungary at IMO 1970 in Keszthely, winning bronze (20 points, rank 51). A student of the I. István Gimnázium, Budapest (class of 1970), he was also commended at the Kürschák József competition that year under teacher Árpád Jelitai.
