Alfréd Rényi
Alfréd Rényi (March 20, 1921 – February 1, 1970) was a Hungarian mathematician who made contributions in combinatorics and graph theory but mostly in probability theory.
He proved, using the large sieve , that there is a number K such that every even number is the sum of a prime number and a number that can be written as the product of at most K primes.
He founded the Mathematical Institute in Budapest. He wrote 32 joint papers with Paul Erdös[1].
