The monument in front of the Lyceum, created by Marton Izsák and István Csorvássy from Târgu Mureș, depicts father and son Bolyai. Farkas Bolyai (1775–1856) was a Hungarian mathematician from Marosvásárhely (Târgu Mureș) who studied under Carl Friedrich Gauss in Göttingen. Bolyai is considered the founder of mathematical research in Hungary. His son János Bolyai (1802–1860) was also a mathematician and military engineer. The "Copernicus of geometry" created the foundations of non-Euclidean geometry in 1831, which provided an indispensable foundation for 20th-century physical theories.
