One of Paul Erdős’ earliest mathematical interests was the study of so-called
Egyptian fractions
, that is, finite sums of distinct fractions having numerator 1. In this note we survey various results in this subject, many of which were motivated by Erdős’ problems and conjectures on such sums. This note complements the excellent treatment of this topic given by A. Schinzel in 2002.
