(1913 – 1996)

Legendary mathematician. ‘The Greatest Mathematician of the 20th Century’.

Prolific and eccentric. Erdös wrote over 1,500 papers, books and articles – more than any mathematician in history – regarding areas such as combinatorics, graph theory, number theory, classical analysis, approximation theory, set theory, and probability theory. He had no home, no possessions, no family, and no life beyond mathematics.
