János Bolyai (1802–1860) was a Hungarian mathematician known for his foundational work in non-Euclidean geometry. He is best known for developing the principles of hyperbolic geometry independently of the Russian mathematician Nikolai Lobachevsky. Bolyai's work demonstrated that it is possible to construct a consistent geometric system in which the parallel postulate of Euclidean geometry does not hold.
