This picture shows G. P61ya (r.) and G. Szego (I.) delivering their original manuscript to Springer in Berlin in 1925 (courtesy of G. Alexanderson) . George P61ya Born in Budapest, December 13,1887, George P61ya initially studied law, then languages and literature in Budapest. He came to mathematics in order to understand philosophy, but the subject of his doctorate in 1912 was in probability theory and he promptly abandoned philosophy. After a year in GOHingen and a short stay in Paris, he received an appointment at the ETH in Zurich. His research was multifaceted, ranging from series, probability, number theory and combinatorics to astronomy and voting systems. Some of his deepest work was on entire functions. He also worked in conformal mappings, potential theory, boundary value problems, and isoperimetric problems in mathematical physics, as well as heuristics late in his career. When P61ya left Europe in 1940, he first went to Brown University, then two years later to Stanford, where he remained until his death on September 7, 1985.
Gabor Szego Born in Kunhegyes, Hungary, January 20, 1895, Szego studied in Budapest and Vienna, where he received his Ph. D. in 1918, after serving in the Austro-Hungarian army in the First World War. He became a privatdozent at the University of Berlin and in 1926 succeeded Knopp at the University of Konigsberg. It was during his time in Berlin that he and P61ya collaborated on their great joint work, the Problems and Theorems in Analysis. Szego's own research concentrated on orthogonal polynomials and Toeplitz matrices. With the deteriorating situation in Germany at that time, he moved in 1934 to Washington University, St. Louis, where he remained until 1938, when he moved to Stanford. As department head at Stanford, he arranged for P61ya to join the Stanford faculty in 1942. Szego remained at Stanford until his death on August 7, 1985.
