    Extractions: Paul Erdos, mathematician, died on September 20 aged 83. He was born on March 26, 1913. Paul Erdos was regarded by fellow mathematicians as the most brilliant, if eccentric, mind in his field. Because he had no interest in anything but numbers, his name was not well known outside the mathematical fraternity. He wrote no best-selling books, and showed a stoic disregard for worldly success and personal comfort, living out of a suitcase for much of his adult life. The money he made from prizes he gave away to fellow mathematicians whom he considered to be needier than himself. "Property is a nuisance," was his succinct evaluation. Mathematics was his life and his only interest from earliest childhood onwards. He became the most prolific mathematician of his generation, writing or co-authoring 1,000 papers and still publishing one a week in his seventies. His research spanned many areas, but it was in number theory that he was considered a genius. He set problems that were often easy to state, but extremely tricky to solve and which involved the relationships between numbers. He liked to say that if one could think of a problem in mathematics that was unsolved and more than 100 years old, it was probably a problem in number theory. In spite, or perhaps because of, his eccentricities, mathematicians revered him and found him inspiring to work with. He was regarded as the wit of the mathematical world, the one man capable of coming up with a short, clever solution to a problem on which others had laboured through pages of equations. He collaborated with so many mathematicians that the phenomenon of the "Erdos number" evolved. To have an Erdos number 1, a mathematician must have published a paper with Erdos. To have a number of 2, he or she must have published with someone who had published with Erdos, and so on. Four and a half thousand mathematicians have an Erdos number of 2.

    Extractions: Schechter has done it again! I was eager to read his latest effort, having been delighted with his last book, The Path of No Resistance. In clear, elegant and witty prose, he has brought to life the European and mathematical world of Paul Erdos, and through careful biography and analysis has shed light on his fascinating, eccentric personality. The math in this book is remarkably clear; I finally understand the Monty Hall problem!!! I came away with a deepened understanding of the culture of Hungary and of mathematicians, and I was also moved by the books compassionate portrayal of an unusual life dedicated to truth, beauty, and support of fellow mathematicians. If you at all are interested in math or history, read this book!!!

    Extractions: David Hilbert and Paul Erdös Awards The World Federation of National Mathematics Competitions has created two international awards for mathematicians who have contributed to mathematics enrichment in their own countries or internationally. They are named after two mathematicians who have been among the most prominent in providing mathematical challenge in the twentieth century. The David Hilbert International Award was established to recognise contributions of mathematicians which have played a significant role in the development of mathematical challenges at the international level and which have been a stimulus for the enrichment of mathematics learning. Each recipient of the award is selected by the Executive and Advisory Committee of the World Federation of National Mathematics Competitions on the recommendation of the WFNMC Awards Subcommittee. David Hilbert was one of the most outstanding mathematicians of the modern era. At the International Congress of Mathematicians in Paris in 1900 he presented the now famous and inspirational 23 problems which he challenged twentieth century mathematicians to solve.

93. ABOUT PAUL ERDÖS
    ABOUT paul ERDÖS. (An overview of the life of paul Erdös. paul Erdös left on September 20, 1996. Dying, in Erdösspeak, meant ceasing to do mathematics.  
    http://bookbuzz.com/MBIO_About_Erdos.htm
    
    Extractions: but a separate article prepared by its author, Bruce Schechter) F OR OVER half a century, early in the morning or in the middle of the night, mathematicians in Budapest or Berkeley, Prague or Sydney have been summoned from their multi-dimensional dreams by a knock at the door. Their unexpected guest was a short, smiling man wearing thick glasses and an old suit. In one hand he held a small suitcase containing everything he owned, in the other a shopping bag stuffed with papers. It was Paul Erdös, one of the greatest mathematicians of the twentieth century, a man who lived in the space of Platonic Ideals and infinite beauty, who called no place on Earth home. Never one to waste time on formalities with work to be done, Erdös would announce to his host: "My brain is open!" For the next few days, brains open, Erdös and his host, with other mathematicians recruited as needed, would be off on a mathematical journey of problem, conjecture, theorem and proof. The goal of their journey was nothing less than Truth and Beauty. "If numbers aren't beautiful, I don't know what is," Erdös once remarked. While the pursuit of mathematical beauty was Erdös's only goal, his ideas inevitably have found practical applications. One of the small ironies of Erdös's life is that, although he never owned or used a computer, mathematics that he invented is the basis for modern computer science; although he never had a secret, his mathematics is used by those who invent secret codes.
