The Erdös Number Project |
This is the website for the Erdös Number Project, which studies research collaboration among mathematicians. This site is maintained by Jerry Grossman at Oakland University, with the collaboration of Patrick Ion (ion@ams.org) at Mathematical Reviews and Rodrigo De Castro(rdcastro@matematicas.unal.edu.co) at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Bogota. Please address all comments, additions, and corrections to Jerry at grossman@oakland.edu. Erdös numbers have been a part of the folklore of mathematiciansthroughout the world for many years. For an introduction to our project, a description of what Erdös numbers are, what they can be used for, who cares, and so on, choose the “What’s It All About?” link below. To find out who Paul Erdös is, look at this biography at the MacTutor History of Mathematics Archive, or choose the “Information about Paul Erdös” link below. Some useful information can also be found in this Wikipedia article, which may or may not be totally accurate. |
WHAT’S INSIDE: SPECIAL NOTES: We have finished updating the lists of Erdös coauthors. There are about 1100 new people with Erdös number 2, compared to three years ago.
NOTES: The data shown on this site are based primarily on all items appearing in MatchSciNet through mid-2010. The next update will probably occur around 2015. If you have any additions or corrections to our lists, PLEASE send them. New coauthorships that appear in MathSciNet will be included at the next update, but if you know of other new coauthors, please contact Jerry Grossman.
If you are an Erdös coauthor, I would really appreciate your sending me a complete list of your coauthors (with full names).
One thing we’d really like to do is give more accurate information on some of the old coauthors’ status — whether they are still alive. Look at the list of coauthors arranged by date of first paper with Erdös to see, in chronological order, those we don’t know about (if there is no asterisk, then we assume the person is still alive, except as noted in the addenda file). If anyone has any information that one or more of these are deceased (or, as Paul Erdös would say, “has left”), please let us know. (We know some are alive; please report only those that have passed on, and report only Erdös coauthors, since there is no way we could extend this convention to those with Erdös number 2.)
You are visitor number since we started keeping track on July 3, 1996, using.

This page was last updated on October 20, 2010 (but subpages may have been updated more recently).
However, the lists of coauthors and the various other statistics on this site are updated about once every three years. The current version was posted on October 20, 2010 and includes all information listed in MathSciNet through mid-2010. The next update will probably occur around 2015.Source : http://www.oakland.edu/enp/
