A city whose 20th century produced more mathematicians per capita than almost any other. Budapest's distinctive professions are an unusually athletic and intellectual mix — water polo, fencing, canoeing, chess, and conducting, with swimmers and figure skaters close behind — and the dataset's brightest names are largely Jewish émigrés born between 1880 and 1920 who left and changed the world from somewhere else. The interwar Magyar bench is one of the most concentrated cultural booms anywhere in the dataset.
