Ernst Gabor Straus was a German-American mathematician who helped found the theories of Euclidean Ramsey theory and of the arithmetic properties of analytic functions. His extensive list of co-authors includes Albert Einstein and Paul Erdős as well as other notable researchers including Richard Bellman, Béla Bollobás, Sarvadaman Chowla, Ronald Graham, László Lovász, Carl Pomerance, and George Szekeres. It is due to his collaboration with Straus that Einstein has Erdős number 2.

  • Ernst Gabor Straus was a German-American mathematician who helped found the theories of Euclidean Ramsey theory and of the arithmetic properties of analytic functions. His extensive list of co-authors includes Albert Einstein and Paul Erdős as well as other notable researchers including Richard Bellman, Béla Bollobás, Sarvadaman Chowla, Ronald Graham, László Lovász, Carl Pomerance, and George Szekeres. It is due to his collaboration with Straus that Einstein has Erdős number 2. Straus was born in Munich, Germany, February 25 1922, the youngest of five children of a prominent attorney, Eli Straus, and his wife Rahel Straus née Goitein, a medical doctor and feminist. Ernst Gabor Straus became known as a mathematical prodigy from a very young age. Following the death of his father, the family fled the Nazi regime for Palestine in 1933, and Straus was educated at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Despite never receiving an undergraduate degree, he began graduate studies at Columbia University in New York, earning a Ph.D. in 1948 under the advisement of F. J. Murray. Two years later, he then became the assistant of Albert Einstein. After a three-year stint at the Institute for Advanced Study, Straus took a position at the University of California, Los Angeles, which he kept for the rest of his life. Straus died July 12 1983 of heart failure. Straus's interests ranged widely over his career, beginning with his early work on relativity with Einstein and continuing with deep work in analytic number theory, extremal graph theory, and combinatorics. One of his best known contributions in popular mathematics is the Erdős–Straus conjecture on Egyptian fractions for numbers of the form 4/n.
  • Ernst Gabor Straus war ein deutsch-US-amerikanischer Mathematiker und Kombinatoriker. Er half, die Euklidische Ramseytheorie und die arithmetischen Eigenschaften analytischer Funktionen zu beschreiben. Er publizierte unter anderem gemeinsam mit Albert Einstein und Paul Erdős (Er trägt also die Erdős-Zahl 1), sowie Richard Bellman, Béla Bollobás, Sarvadaman Chowla, Ronald Graham, László Lovász, Carl Pomerance, George Szekeres und Olga Taussky-Todd. Straus wurde als Jüngster von fünf Kindern des Anwalts Elias Straus und der Ärztin und Frauenrechtlerin Rahel Straus (geborene Goitein) geboren und wurde früh mit der Mathematik vertraut. Nach dem frühen Tod seines Vaters floh die Familie 1933 vor den Nazis nach Palästina. Dort wurde Straus an der Hebräischen Universität Jerusalem ausgebildet. Ohne einen Diplomabschluss begann er seine Doktorandenstudien an der University of California, Los Angeles in New York, die er 1948 unter F. J. Murray abschloss. Zwei Jahre später assistierte er Einstein für drei Jahre am Institute for Advanced Study. In Folge nahm er eine Stelle an der University of California an, die er bis zu seinem Tod durch Herzversagen innehielt. Seine Themengebiete und Interessenschwerpunkte wandelten sich im Laufe seiner Karriere. Angefangen mit Arbeiten um die Relativitätstheorie, begann er eine Vertiefung in die analytische Zahlentheorie, Graphentheorie und Kombinatorik. In der populären Mathematik ist die Erdős-Straus-Vermutung über Stammbrüche der Form 4/n bekannt geworden.
  • Ernst Gabor Straus foi um matemático teuto-estadunidense Publicou seus trabalhos em coautoria com Albert Einstein e Paul Erdős (tem portando o Número de Erdős 1), bem como com Richard Bellman, Béla Bollobás, Sarvadaman Chowla, Ronald Graham, László Lovász, Carl Pomerance, George Szekeres e Olga Taussky-Todd. É por sua colaboração com Strauss que Einstein tem o Número de Erdős 2. Foi o mais jovem dos cinco filhos do advogado Elias Straus, e da médica e feminista Rahel Straus. Após o falecimento precoce de seu pai a família fugiu da Alemanha em 1933, com destino à Palestina, estudando na Universidade Hebraica de Jerusalém. Doutorou-se na Universidade Columbia em Nova Iorque em 1950, orientado por Francis Joseph Murray e Albert Einstein. Dois anos epois foi assistente de Einstein no Institute for Advanced Study, sendo logo a seguir professor na Universidade da Califórnia em Los Angeles.
