==Tutoring von Neumann==
At the age of 15, the young [[John von Neumann]], recognised as a mathematical prodigy, was sent to study advanced calculus under Szegő. On their first meeting, Szegő was so astounded by von Neumann's mathematical talent and speed that, as recalled by his wife, he came back home with tears in his eyes.<ref>Impagliazzo, John; [[James Glimm|Glimm, James]]; [[Isadore Singer|Singer, Isadore Manuel]] [https://books.google.com/books?id=XBK-r0gS0YMC&pg=PA15 ''The Legacy of John von Neumann''], American Mathematical Society, 1990, p. 5, {{ISBN|0-8218-4219-6}}.</ref>  Szegő subsequently visited the von Neumann house twice a week to tutor the child prodigy. Some of von Neumann's instant solutions to the problems in calculus posed by Szegő, sketched out on his father's stationery, are now on display at the von Neumann archive at Budapest.<ref>''John Von Neumann: The Scientific Genius Who Pioneered the Modern Computer'', by Norman Macrae, American Mathematical Soc., 2000, page 70</ref>
