Paul erdos biography pdf
Far from being a mathematical robot, Erdo˝s was intensely interested in his human environment.!
Paul was shown to be a mathematical prodigy very early in his life; he could multiply 3 digit numbers and had independently developed the idea.
.
Paul Erdős (occasionally spelled Erdos or Erdös; Hungarian: Erdős Pál, pronounced [ˈɛrdøːʃ ˈpaːl]; 26 March 1913 – 20 September 1996) was an immensely prolific and notably eccentric Hungarian mathematician.
Erdős published more papers than any other mathematician in history, working with hundreds of collaborators. He worked on problems in combinatorics, graph theory, number theory, classical analysis, approximation theory, set theory, and probability theory.
Biography
Paul Erdős was born in Budapest, Hungary on March 26, 1913.[1] He was the only surviving child of Anna and Lajos Erdős; his siblings died before he was born, aged 3 and 5.
His parents were both Jewish mathematicians from a vibrant intellectual community.[2] His fascination with mathematics developed early—at the age of three, he could calculate how many seconds a person had lived.[3]
Both of Erdős's parents were high school mathematics teachers, and Erdős received much of his early education from them.
