Abstract
Pál (Paul) Erdős was born 100 years ago (March 26, 1913 in Budapest). He died on September 20, 1996 in Warsaw, when he attended a conference. He wrote about 1500 papers mainly with coauthors including those more than 80 works which are closely connected with approximation theory (interpolation, mean convergence, orthogonal polynomials, a.s.o.).
