István Fáry (30 June 1922 – 2 November 1984) was a Hungarian-born mathematician known for his work in geometry and algebraic topology [ [http://content.cdlib.org/xtf/view?docId=hb4d5nb20m&doc.view=frames&chunk.id=div00051&toc.depth=1&toc.id=] Biography from the "California Digital Library"] . He proved Fáry's theorem in 1948, and the Fary-Milnor theorem in 1949.
