Paul Erdős (Hungarian: Erdős Pál, in English occasionally Paul Erdos or Paul Erdös, March 26, 1913 - September 20, 1996) was an immensely prolific (and famously eccentric) Hungarian-born mathematician. With hundreds of collaborators, he worked on problems in combinatorics, graph theory, number theory, classical analysis, approximation theory, set theory, and probability theory.
