Erdős number
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Erdős number (IPA: [ɛrdøːʃ]) honors the Hungarian mathematician Paul Erdős. Erdős was one of the most prolific mathematical writers. He worked with many mathematicians.
Paul Erdős's number is 0. Anyone who directly worked with Paul Erdős has an Erdős number of 1. Anyone who works with those collaborators who have a Erdős number of 1, have an Erdős number of 2. The chain continues like that.
