Dennis and Erdős likely refer to Paul Erdős, a prominent Hungarian mathematician known for his extensive collaboration with other mathematicians, including a concept called the "Erdős number." The Erdős number measures the "collaborative distance" between a person and Erdős based on co-authorship of mathematical papers. For example, an author who co-authored a paper with Erdős has an Erdős number of 1, while someone who co-authored with that author has an Erdős number of 2, and so on. The concept highlights the collaborative nature of mathematical research and the connections within the mathematical community.
Dennis Rodman was born on May 13, 1961
Dennis Priven's birth name is Dennis I. Priven.
Dennis Bingham's birth name is Bingham, Dennis Patrick.
Dennis Oppenheim's birth name is Dennis Allan Oppenheim.
Dennis Victory's birth name is Dennis L. Victory.
Produce a maths paper in association with either Erdos himself or someone who already has an Erdos number.
Todd Erdos was born in 1973.
Erdos' Conjecture on Arithmetic Progressions (Wikipedia.org)
My Erdos number is 4. I found out about it through academic collaborations and research connections with other mathematicians who have lower Erdos numbers.
Paul Erdos has written: 'Topics in the theory of numbers'
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 !
Victor Erdos was born on February 16, 1972, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Todd Erdos was born November 21, 1973, in Washington, PA, USA.

Todd Erdos debuted on June 8, 1997 and played his final game on October 5, 2001.
No, it does not. The Benford Law requires the numbers to span several orders of magnitude, Erdos numbers have a very small range.
Paul Erdos published approximately 1,525 mathematical papers during his lifetime.
