List of people by Erdos number
Encyclopedia
Paul Erdős
was one of the most prolific writers of mathematical papers. He collaborated a great deal, having 511 joint authors, a number of whom also have many collaborators. The Erdős number
measures the "collaborative distance" between an author and Erdős. Thus, his direct co-authors have Erdős number 1, theirs have number 2, and so forth. Erdős himself has Erdős number 0.
Tens of thousands of researchers have Erdős numbers of 3 or less; this list is intended to include only those who are notable in their own right. For more complete listings of Erdős numbers, see the databases maintained by the Erdos Number Project or the collaboration distance calculator maintained by the American Mathematical Society
