Curriculum vitae, Robert FreudI have been teaching in the Institute of Mathematics at Eötvös Loránd University Budapest (ELTE) fordecades. I wrote 20 research papers in number theory, five of them are joint work with Paul Erdős. Itaught at Ohio State University and at UCLA in the USA, at the University of Luxembourg, and havebeen teaching American students in the Budapest Semesters in Mathematics program. My book NumberTheory (550 pages) written with Edit Gyarmati was published by AMS in 2020. Also my Linear Algebra
textbook (cca 400 pages) is under publication at AMS. The Hungarian versions of these books are widelyused at several Hungarian universities.
Degrees:
1982 CSc in mathematics (candidate of sciences, with maximal score), Hungarian Academy of Sciences
1976 PhD in mathematics (summa cum laude), at ELTE
1970 MSc diploma in mathematics (with highest honors), at ELTE
Conference and university talks outside Hungary: USA (Athens, Columbus, Los Angeles, San Diego,Urbana), Germany (Jena, Oberwolfach), Poland (Warszava, Wroclaw), France (Marseille, Lyon)
Teaching experience: ELTE (Budapest), UCLA (Los Angeles), OSU (Columbus), BSM (Budapest),
UNI.LU (Luxembourg). I have been teaching nearly all branches of algebra and number theory, andalso several courses in combinatorics, analysis, and probability theory. I have been the advisor of many
BSc, MSc, and PhD theses. I coordinated and supervised the work of TAs regularly.
