Jenő Hunyady
Jenő Hunyady (April 28, 1838 in Pest – December 26, 1889 in Budapest) was a Hungarian mathematician noted for his work on conic sections and linear algebra, specifically on determinants. He received his Ph.D. in Göttingen (1864). He worked at the University of Technology of Budapest. He was elected a corresponding member (1867), member (1883) of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. From 1885 he actively participated in the informal meetings of what became later the Mathematical and Physical Society of Hungary
(now Loránd Eötvös University).
Scholtz's field of research was projective geometry and theory of determinants. He collaborated extensively with Jenő Hunyady, for this reason both names are associated with their results: Hunyadi–Scholtz determinant theorem and Hunyadi–Scholtz matrix.
