Abstract

Over a span of more than 60 years, Paul Erdős took the art of collaborative research in mathematics to heights never before achieved. In this brief look at his collaborative efforts, we will explore the breadth of Paul’s interests, the company he kept, and the influence of his collaboration in the mathematical community. Rather than focusing on the mathematical content of his work or the man himself, we will see what conclusions can be drawn by looking mainly at publication lists.
