Hello! Welcome! In this video, we talk about the very social wandering mathematician known as Paul Erdos. He led a fascinating life to say the least!

Note/Disclaimer: If you have kids and they're are watching, or you stumbled across this being a kid, there are some things in Erdos life that are mentioned from 6:33 - 10:31 that aren't for everyone.

While not as bad as it could be, Erdos led an interesting life, and he did have a particular issue I mention. It is interesting but not ideal for some to hear.

I also some links below for more info. Most are sites with free info. One is a book though, if people got curious.
