Paul Erdös (1913-1996)
On October 18, 1996, hundreds of people, including many mathematicians, gathered at Kerepesi Cemetery in Budapest to pay their last respects to Paul Erdős. If there was one theme suggested by the farewell orations, it was that the world of mathematics had lost a legend, one of its great representatives. On October 21, 1996, in accordance with his last wishes, Paul Erdős’ ashes were buried in hi...
متن کاملPaul Erdős ( 1913 – 1996 )
Paul Erdős was a searcher, a searcher for mathematical truth. Paul’s place in the mathematical pantheon will be a matter of strong debate, for in that rarefied atmosphere he had a unique style. The late Ernst Straus said it best in a commemoration of Erdős’s seventieth birthday. In our century, in which mathematics is so strongly dominated by “theory constructors” he has remained the prince of ...
متن کاملThe one - hop neighborhood of Paul Erdös
The idea of the Erdös number was created by his fellow mathematicians as a humorous tribute to his enormous output as one of the most prolific modern writers of mathematical papers [1]. An Erdös number 1 is awarded to the person who has published at least one mathematical paper with the celebrated mathematician. Similarly, joint publications with someone with an Erdös number of 1 yield an Erdös...
متن کاملRamanujan and I 1 Paul Erdös
Perhaps I should start at the beginning and relate how I first found out about Ramanujan’s existence. In March, 1931 I found a simple proof of the following old and well-known theorem of Tchebychev: “Given any integer n, there is always a prime p such that n ≤ p < 2n.” My paper was not very well written. Kalmar rewrote my paper and said in the introduction that Ramanujan found a somewhat simila...
متن کاملSome Personal Reminiscences of the Mathematical Work of Paul Turán
Our frienctslup and collaboration spread over most of our active and scientific life. We first met at the University of Budapest in September 1930 and innnediately discovered our common interest in number theory and prinie nuinbers in particular. Our last mathematical discussion 11 days before his death was also about prime numbers. My last letter to hini (written from Canada) arrived after he ...
