Abstract: Abstract Paul Erdős has published more than one hundred research papers in set theory. It is my rough estimate that these contain more than one thousand theorems, many having an interest in their own right. Although most of his problems and results have a combinatorial flavour, and the subject now known as “combinatorial set theory” is one he helped to create, it is also true to say that his work has had a very important impact upon the direction of research in many parts of present day set theory. Whole theories have developed out of basic questions which he formulated.
