Mrs. Tamás Beck (born: Ilona Rákos)

After graduating from university, he taught mathematics at the Varga Katalin High School in Budapest and then at the Textile Vocational High Schools in Szeged, also performing the duties of a class teacher. He also achieved excellent results in acquiring knowledge; the graduation chairmen always highlighted his effective pedagogical work.

In 1971-1972, he continued his education at Pinceton University (NJ USA). After that, he worked at the Light Industry Technical College (KMF) until his retirement in 1993. As an associate professor of the Department of Basic Studies, he did a lot for the introduction of computer science education in colleges. At first, programming was taught without computers, then from 1978 using the R20 machine of the Kandó Kálmán Technical College (KKMF). Microcomputer education began in 1984, first with HT 1080s, then Commodore 64s, and later on PCs.

In 1982, he defended his doctoral dissertation at Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE) on the topic of Methodological Issues in the Teaching of Classical Mathematical Analysis.

As head of the independent Computer Science Department, which was established at the Faculty of Computer Science in 1983, and later the Department of Computer Science, he ensured that students could receive computer science education that met the standards of the time. In addition, he placed great emphasis on the professional training of his colleagues, publishing, and giving conference lectures. He was the Deputy Director General of the Faculty of Computer Science for several terms, and then the Deputy Director General for Science and Education, developing very good relations with light industry plants and partner universities. Under his leadership, the staff of the Department of Computer Science carried out significant industrial work in the field of computer-based production management.

He is the author of several computer science textbooks, mathematics and mathematical programming publications. His most significant works include: "Application of the Monte Carlo method in the textile industry", "Computer-aided production control in the textile industry", "Software development", "Operations research in practice".

He was a member of the board of the National Educational Working Group of Technical Higher Education Institutions. His fruitful work was recognized with numerous awards (Excellent Worker in Education, Excellent Worker in Light Industry).
