Paul Erdos published more papers during his lifetime than any other
mathematician, especially in discrete mathematics. He had a nose
for beautiful, simply-stated problems with solutions that have
far-reaching consequences across mathematics. This captivating
book, written for students, provides an easy-to-understand
introduction to discrete mathematics by presenting questions that
intrigued Erdos, along with his brilliant ways of working toward
their answers. It includes young Erdos's proof of Bertrand's
postulate, the Erdos-Szekeres Happy End Theorem, De Bruijn-Erdos
theorem, Erdos-Rado delta-systems, Erdos-Ko-Rado theorem,
Erdos-Stone theorem, the Erdos-Renyi-Sos Friendship Theorem,
Erdos-Renyi random graphs, the Chvatal-Erdos theorem on Hamilton
cycles, and other results of Erdos, as well as results related to
his work, such as Ramsey's theorem or Deza's theorem on weak
delta-systems. Its appendix covers topics normally missing from
introductory courses. Filled with personal anecdotes about Erdos,
this book offers a behind-the-scenes look at interactions with the
legendary collaborator.
