Kalman Könyves Toth

After graduating from university, he began teaching in Kőszeg in 1954. He regularly sent assignments to the Secondary School Mathematical and Physical Journals. It was in Kőszeg that he came into contact with the then elderly Aladár Visnya (a schoolmate of Lipót Fejér); from him he received the original copy of Bolyai's booklet "Elements of Astronomy for Beginners".

Between 1963 and 1965, he was a mathematics and physics teacher at Szent István High School in Budapest.
After that, he worked at the University Computer Center (ESZK). In addition to assisting university education, he performed various statistical processing tasks for the ministry. In this context, he primarily performed the programming and organizational work for the statistical processing of university entrance exams, also developing the algorithms for the appropriate analytical calculations. Here he wrote his book on university admissions, “Intention and Reality”.

Later, he worked with linguists in the editing of the Hungarian Dictionary of Terminology. He also wrote chapters on the axiomatic structure of geometry and integral calculus for textbooks for mathematics students.

In 2009, fulfilling his wish, the Szeged-based Polygon Publishing House published the revised version of Farkas Bolyai's book "Elements of Astronomy for Beginners" by Kálmán Könyves Tóth (the reviewer was Gábor Péter Szabó).
