The Discrete Mathematical Charms of Paul Erdős: A Simple Introduction 1st Edition by Vašek Chvátal (PDF)

Description

Paul Erdős 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 Erdős, along with his brilliant ways of working toward their answers. It includes young Erdős’s proof of Bertrand’s postulate, the Erdős-Szekeres Happy End Theorem, De Bruijn-Erdős theorem, Erdős-Rado delta-systems, Erdős-Ko-Rado theorem, Erdős-Stone theorem, the Erdős-Rényi-Sós Friendship Theorem, Erdős-Rényi random graphs, the Chvátal-Erdős theorem on Hamilton cycles, and other results of Erdős, 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 Erdős, this book offers a behind-the-scenes look at interactions with the legendary collaborator.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐“Unputdownable” as popular reviews are often wont to describe thrillers. But seriously, a great book from a great mathematician about a giant in the field. The mingling of the personality of Erdos — one of the most public and revered Mathematicians of all times and his work from the basic to advanced as described from the vantage point of one of his close collaborators, is deftly done. Anyone interested in discrete math and/or the history of twentieth century math cannot afford to skip this volume.
