Paul Erdős (26 March 1913—20 September 1996) was a mathematician par excellence whose results and initiatives have had a large impact and made a strong imprint on the doing of and thinking about mathematics. A mathematician of alacrity, detail, and collaboration, Erdős in his six decades of work moved and thought quickly, entertained increasingly many parameters, and wrote over 1500 articles, the majority with others. His modus operandi was to drive mathematics through cycles of problem, proof…

ICLE Set theory and the analyst
This survey is motivated by specific questions arising in the similarities and contrasts between (Baire) category and (Lebesgue) measure—category-measure duality and non-duality, as it were. The bulk…

Paul Erdős and his mathematics
TLDR
The editors have collected, besides some personal reminiscences by Paul's old friends, mainly survey articles on his work, and on areas he initiated or worked in, which has contributed to changing the common view that Erdos worked only in combinatorics and combinatorial number theory.

Paul Erdős has published more than one hundred research papers in set theory. It is my rough estimate that these contain more than one thousand theorems, many having an interest in their own right.…

Dedekind’s pigeon-hole principle, also known as the box argument or the chest of drawers argument (Schubfachprinzip) can be described, rather vaguely, as follows. If sufficiently many objects are…
