Abstract

Social network analysis is a branch of graph theory, the branch of pure mathematics which many associate with Paul Erdös (1913–96), the eccentric Hungarian über-geek of 20th century mathematics. Well-connected mathematicians are proud of their so-called Erdös number, the degrees of separation between themselves and the great man (an Erdös number of 2, for example, means one has authored a paper with one of Erdös' 511 coauthors). But the foundations of graph theory were laid two centuries before by another genius, Leonard Euler (1707–83) of Switzerland.
