Paul Erdős is recognized among Jewish contributors to Science & Medicine — Combinatorics and Graph Theory
Erdős, a Hungarian Jewish mathematician, was one of history's most prolific mathematicians, publishing some 1,500 papers with hundreds of collaborators across combinatorics, number theory and graph theory. Forced by antisemitism and later Cold War politics into a wandering, homeless life, he devoted himself entirely to mathematics and received the Wolf Prize in 1983/84.
