Béla Kerékjártó (born October 1, 1898 in Budapest ; † June 26, 1946 in Gyöngyös ) was a Hungarian mathematician who mainly dealt with topology (mathematics) and geometry .
Kerékjártó studied at the University of Budapest. From 1922 he taught as a private lecturer at the University of Szeged , but was on long visits to Göttingen and Princeton . From 1938 he was a professor in Budapest .
Kerékjártó worked in the field of topological transformations and transformation groups and wrote one of the first textbooks on topology (with Oswald Veblen , Solomon Lefschetz ), of which, however, Hans Freudenthal said: "It was not a good book and therefore nobody read it".
