Mathematicians -- Hungary -- Biography ISBN 1596433078; 9781596433076 LC 2012029744 Orbis Pictus Awards Honor Book (2014) This book is a biography of mathematician Paul Erdös. He was a child prodigy who had to be homeschooled due to his inability to sit still and follow rules. “High school was a better fit, and he made friends with students who shared his love of math. His skills became famous, but Erdös didn’t know how to do laundry, cook, or even butter his own bread. He ‘didn’t fit into the world in a regular way.’ So, he created a life that fit him instead.” (School Library Journal) “Heiligman’s joyful, warm account invites young listen- ers and readers to imagine a much-loved boy completely charmed by numbers... The polished, disarming text offers Pham free rein for lively illustration that captures Erdos’ childlike spirit.” Kirkus 511 General principles of mathematics Murphy, Stuart J.
