This is the most comprehensive survey of the mathematical life of
the legendary Paul Erdos (1913-1996), one of the most versatile and
prolific mathematicians of our time. For the first time, all the
main areas of Erdos' research are covered in a single project.
Because of overwhelming response from the mathematical community,
the project now occupies over 1000 pages, arranged into two
volumes. These volumes contain both high level research articles as
well as key articles that survey some of the cornerstones of Erdos'
work, each written by a leading world specialist in the field. A
special chapter "Early Days", rare photographs, and art related to
Erdos complement this striking collection. A unique contribution is
the bibliography on Erdos' publications: the most comprehensive
ever published. This new edition, dedicated to the 100th
anniversary of Paul Erdos' birth, contains updates on many of the
articles from the two volumes of the first edition, several new
articles from prominent mathematicians, a new introduction, more
biographical information about Paul Erdos, and an updated list of
publications. The first volume contains the unique chapter "Early
Days", which features personal memories of Paul Erdos by a number
of his colleagues. The other three chapters cover number theory,
random methods, and geometry. All of these chapters are essentially
updated, most notably the geometry chapter that covers the recent
solution of the problem on the number of distinct distances in
finite planar sets, which was the most popular of Erdos' favorite
geometry problems.
