Printed in Singapore RokTing - Special Secondary Schools.indd 2 6/8/2015 2:56:19 PM Dedicated to the Memory of László Rátz Teacher of Mathematics at the Fasor Street Lutheran Gymnasium in Budapest, Hungary Although the Lutheran Gymnasium was a day school, Ratz arranged room and board with local Lutheran families for gifted students from outside Budapest. Because of Ratz’ efforts, the Fasor Street Lutheran Gymnasium can be said to be the “first special secondary school of the modern era for the mathematically talented.” Laszalo Ratz’ students included Hungarian-American Mathematician and Physicists John von Neuman, Eugene Wigner, Leo Szilard, and Tibor Rado. v May2,2013 14:6 BC:8831-ProbabilityandStatisticalTheory PST˙ws TThhiiss ppaaggee iinntteennttiioonnaallllyy lleefftt bbllaannkk Contents I.
