==Legacy== The [[Babeș-Bolyai University]] in [[Cluj-Napoca]], that was established in 1959, bears his name, as does the professional society of Hungarian mathematicians, the [[János Bolyai Mathematical Institute]], at the [[University of Szeged]]. There is also a mathematical award given out every five years, named the [[Bolyai Prize]]. Bolyai is a minor character in the 1969 science-fiction/fantasy story [[Operation Chaos (novel)|"Operation Changeling"]], where his unique abilities allow the protagonists to navigate the non-Euclidean geometry of [[Hell]].{{Citation needed|date=September 2022}} The crater [[Bolyai (crater)|Bolyai]] on the [[Moon]]<ref>[http://lunar.arc.nasa.gov/printerready/science/geography_items/carters/craters_b.html NASA website] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051023083235/http://lunar.arc.nasa.gov/printerready/science/geography_items/carters/craters_b.html |date=23 October 2005 }}</ref> and [[1441 Bolyai]], a [[minor planet]] discovered in 1937, are also named after him. Several primary and secondary schools in the [[Pannonian Basin|Carpathian Basin]] also bear Bolyai's name; for instance, Bolyai János Műszaki Szakközépiskola in [[Budapest]], Bolyai János Gyakorló Általános Iskola és Gimnázium in [[Szombathely]], and the Bolyai János Általános Iskola in [[Debrecen]].{{Citation needed|date=October 2013}} Streets in Budapest, Cluj-Napoca,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.clujeni.com/despre/strada_bolyai_janos/|title=Strada Bolyai Janos|website=www.clujeni.com|lang=ro|access-date=January 4, 2022}}</ref> and [[Timișoara]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.harti-orase.ro/timisoara/strazi/strada-bolyai-janos-timisoara.html|title=Strada Bolyai János, Timișoara|lang=ro|website=www.harti-orase.ro|access-date=January 4, 2022}}</ref> are named after Bolyai.
