ABSTRACT

MP: You are certainly among the most renowned and prolifi c of mathematicians, but you are also, undoubtedly, the most widely traveled.

Erdős: Yes, but Marshall Stone traveled a great deal, not perhaps now, he’s too old, but he used to. He also went to some places like Indonesia and the Fireland (Tierra del Fuego) where there is not much mathematics. I rarely go any place where there is no mathematics.
