My Erdos number is 4. I found out about it through academic collaborations and research connections with other mathematicians who have lower Erdos numbers.
Produce a maths paper in association with either Erdos himself or someone who already has an Erdos number.
You have to produce a paper in partnership with Paul Erdos to get an Erdos number of 1. If you produce a paper in partnership with someone who already has an Erdos Number, you get one more than your co-author(s). It is rumoured that baseball legend Hank Aaron has an Erdos number of 1 since he and Erdos both signed the baseball with which Aaron broke Babe Ruth's career home run record of 714 !
No, it does not. The Benford Law requires the numbers to span several orders of magnitude, Erdos numbers have a very small range.

Todd Erdos was born in 1973.
Erdos' Conjecture on Arithmetic Progressions (Wikipedia.org)
Paul Erdos has written: 'Topics in the theory of numbers'
This is a very subjective question, especially considering that mathematics has several fields that go into such detail that specialists from one field can do little on advanced topics in a different field. However, some notable mathematicians include Pythagoras, Euler, and Erdos. (In fact, Erdos was a mathematician of such great fame that there is something called an Erdos number that people made up to keep track of how close they are to writing a paper with Erdos himself.)
Victor Erdos was born on February 16, 1972, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Todd Erdos was born November 21, 1973, in Washington, PA, USA.
