Emanuel Beke was a Hungarian mathematician, specializing in differential equations, determinants, and mathematical physics. He is known for reforming the teaching of mathematics in Hungary.At the University of Budapest he received a mathematics-physics degree in 1883 and a doctorate in 1884.
In 1908 he was an Invited Speaker of the ICM in Rome. In 1914 he was elected a corresponding member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. In 1922 the official Council of the University of Budapest condemned his political activity, dismissed him from the University, and took away his membership in the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. After his dismissal he worked for a publishing firm.
