Pál Révész (6 June 1934 – 14 November 2022),[1] anglicized as Pal Revesz, was a Hungarian mathematician known for his research in probability and mathematical statistics, including the mathematical foundations of the law of large numbers, theory of density estimation, and random walks.
He studied in the applied mathematics program at the Faculty of Science, Eötvös Loránd University and graduated there in 1957.
In 1964, he transferred to the Mathematical Research Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, where he started working as a scientific associate.
His results related to the so-called strong approximation of stochastic processes and the estimation of the probability density function are significant.
[6] Révész received the State Award of the People's Republic of Hungary in 1978 for his achievements in probability, especially in the theory of stochastic processes and their practical application.
