The Man Who Only Loves Numbers

An excellent biography of Paul Erdos, one of the most prolific mathematicians of all time. Erdos collaborated with 485 mathematicians and published more than 1500 papers (about 10 times that of a regular mathematician). He never had a home, he came to the door of the mathematicians he wanted to work with, with a suitcase that he had packed everything he owned. This book includes discussions of the numerous problems (mostly number theory) that Erdos worked on during his lifetime, among other details about Erdos. University of Cambridge, Mathematics Books Recommendation List, 2021“Erdos has made an incredible contribution to mathematics. But what is more important to me is that he has created a large number of mathematicians. He was an amazing problem posing. His ability to formulate problems of any degree of difficulty was legendary. Many people may ask difficult or absurdly easy questions that are nearly impossible to answer. But very few of us have the ability to walk the fine line between inaccessible and absurd. Erdos problems were not Hilbert problems that took half a century or more to solve. Erdos questions were always just right. If we stumble in our research, we are often not asking the right question. Erdos' outstanding and important questions have taken their place in the history of mathematics. Serious efforts have been made to solve almost all of these questions, and some have been partially and some completely resolved.” Richard GuyProduct Name: The Man Who Only Loves NumbersProduct Code: 9786257653060Author: Paul HoffmanPublic Year: 2021Cover Type: PaperbackNumber of Pages: 320Paper Type: Book PaperTranslator: Ayhan Dil, Derya Kömürcü.
