Paul Erdos, who has been called the world's greatest problem poser and solver, has published more papers than any mathematician alive.

Over 80 contributions are included, which are grouped into four parts and sixteen chapters as follows: Papers of Special Interest: an early gem—problems; Graph Theory: representation of graphs—coloring of graphs—extremal graph theory—circuits—assorted show more graph theory; Combinatorial Analysis; Ramsey's theorem—property B—systems of sets—block designs—tournaments—information theory; Miscellany: random objects—Latin squares—geometry.
