He was 83. The cause of death was a heart attack, according to an E-mail message sent out this weekend by Dr. Miki Simonovits, a mathematician at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, who was a close friend. Dr. Erdos (pronounced AIR-dosh) was attending a mathematics meeting in Warsaw when he died, Dr. Simonovits reported. Never, mathematicians say, has there been an individual like Paul Erdos. He was one of the century's greatest mathematicians, who posed and solved thorny problems in number theory and other other areas and founded the field of discrete mathematics, which is the foundation of computer science. He was also one of the most prolific mathematicians in history, with more then 1,500 papers to his name. And, his friends say, he also was one of the most unusual. Dr. Erdos, "is on the short list for our century," said Dr. Joel H. Spencer, a mathematician at New York University's Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences.

Erdos è stato uno dei più prolifici matematici, risolvendo numerosi problemi e firmando circa 1500 saggi. Paul Erdos odiava il possesso materiale: non ha mai avuto una casa o un lavoro, un'automobile, o un conto corrente; si spostava per il mondo per convegni e conferenze con una valigia mezza vuota, ospitato dai suoi colleghi matematici. I colleghi lo ospitavano, lo nutrivano, gli compravano i vestiti, gli prestavano i soldi, compilavano persino le sue tasse; lui donava ai giovani studenti di matematica tutti i soldi che guadagnava dalle sue conferenze.

Heroes: Paul Erdos
Paul Erdos CASSANDRA W., Alplaus, NY. Who is a hero? Paul Erdos never learned to tie his shoes, never drove a car or sliced his own piece of fruit.
http://www.teenink.com/Past/1999/10666.html

Extractions: Who is a hero? A hero is an ideal, the pure expression of one's aspirations. The choice of a hero is subjective and illustrates a person's individuality. When questioned about their personal idols, a disconcertingly large number of people rush to name actors, sports stars, musicians and even superheroes. What fazes me is the extent of superficiality and consequent lack of identity that envelops these devotees. With all due respect, I find it hard to accept that a majority of Americans honestly aim to become Superman. Paul Erdos never learned to tie his shoes, never drove a car or sliced his own piece of fruit. Yet he was adulated by the top intellectuals of the world and figured pre-eminently into the legends of twentieth-century mathematics. Totally incapable of the mundane essentials of living, Erdos achieved the satisfaction that so many people seek. He listened to his anima and ignored the demands of collective society. This is the sort of hero whose life goes unrecognized. His genius exceeded renowned scholars and monopolized number theory. Erdos's mathematical omniscience awed his reputable colleagues. For the 83 years of his life, however, Americans ignored this man who reached their own dreams of personal nirvana. Only this year have his accomplishments been recorded and received their due veneration. The Man Who Loved Only Numbers (by Paul Hoffman), was reviewed recently by the New York Times as a biography that opens doors on a world and characters that are often invisible. A new hero has emerged for those who, like me, are sickened by the lengthy roster of hallowed athletes and rock stars.

http://www.mssm.org/math/vol2/issue1/erdos.htm

Extractions: Paul Erdos Paul Erdos, one of this century' greatest mathematicians, was born in Budapest on March 26, 1913. His parents were high school mathematics teachers who encouraged Erdos to develop his interest in math from earliest childhood. When he was three years old, Erdos entertained dinner guests by multiplying three digit numbers in his head; in the same year, he discovered negative numbers. To amuse himself, Erdos solved self-invented problems such as how long it would take a train to travel to the sun. After being home schooled by his mother and German governess, he attended the University of Budapest and received a doctorate in mathematics. His first significant contribution to mathematics was a proof in number theory. Erdos discovered a less complex proof for the theorem which states '' each number greater than 1, there is always one prime number between it and its double'' (The Times). After his first paper was published, Erdos' life became simpler. He began to travel, often spending no more than a day or two in one place. He lived out of his suitcase and stayed with friends. His fame spread as he continued to publish more papers alone as well as with collaborators who scrambled to decrease their '' number.'' One' number symbolized how closely one had worked with Erdos: someone who had worked personally with Erdos had an Erdos number of one; an Erdos number of two was a person who had worked with someone else who had worked with Erdos, and so on down the line. By the time of his death, Erdos had published over 1500 papers and it is expected that at least 50 more will be published that have his name on them (The New York Times).

Article from The Mathmatical Association of America by Melvin Henriksen.
http://www.maa.org/features/erdos.html

Extractions: Search MAA Online MAA Home I am not qualified to write a biography of Erdös, but some background seems necessary. There is an excellently written and accurate obituary of him by Gina Kolata in the Sept. 21, 1996 issue of the New York Times, beginning on page 1. An interview conducted in 1979 which reveals much of his personality appeared in the volume Mathematical People edited by D.J. Albers and G.L. Alexanderson (Birkhauser 1985). The Mathematical Association of America (MAA) sells two videos of Erdös, and Ronald Graham, a long time collaborator, has edited together with Jarik Nesetril two volumes on his mathematical work and life. (Both volumes have been published by Springer-Verlag and were available in January 1997. They include a detailed biographical article by Bella Bollobas.) Erdös was born in Budapest in 1913 of parents who were Jewish intellectuals. His brilliance was evident by the time he was three years old. For this reason, and perhaps because two older sisters died of scarlet fever shortly before he was born, his parents shielded him almost completely from the everyday problems of life. For example, he never had to tie his own shoelaces until he was 14 years old, and never buttered his own toast until he was 21 years old in Cambridge, England. In return for the freedom to concentrate almost exclusively on intellectual pursuits, he paid the price of not learning the social skills that are expected of all of us and usually acquired in childhood.

Extractions: Ivars Peterson's MathLand October 7, 1996 Paul Erdos died of a heart attack on Sept. 20 at the age of 83. Considered by many as one of the great mathematicians of this century and certainly one of the most prolific ever, he will be missed. For more than 50 years, Erdos wandered the globe visiting mathematicians, attending meetings, teaching, and lecturing. He had become the center of an enormous web of collaboration (see Groups, Graphs, and Paul Erdos "One never knew where Erdos was, not even the country," Richard Bellman wrote in Eye of the Hurricane . "However, one could be sure that during the year ... Erdos was everywhere. He was the nearest thing to an ergodic particle that a human being could be." At his death, Erdos had more than 1,500 published papers to his credit. He was active to the last days of his life. At least 50 papers on which he is listed as a coauthor are yet to appear, representing the results of various recent collaborative efforts. Erdos was the supreme problem poser and problem solver of modern times. His interests were mainly in number theory and combinatorics, though they ranged into topology and other areas of mathematics. He was fascinated by relationships among numbers, and numbers served as the raw materials for many of his conjectures, questions, and proofs.
