You have to produce a paper in partnership with Paul Erdos to get an Erdos number of 1. If you produce a paper in partnership with someone who already has an Erdos Number, you get one more than your co-author(s).

It is rumoured that Baseball legend Hank Aaron has an Erdos number of 1 since he and Erdos both signed the baseball with which Aaron broke Babe Ruth's career home run record of 714 !

Who was the best mathmatician?

This is a very subjective question, especially considering that mathematics has several fields that go into such detail that specialists from one field can do little on advanced topics in a different field. However, some notable mathematicians include Pythagoras, Euler, and Erdos. (In fact, Erdos was a mathematician of such great fame that there is something called an Erdos number that people made up to keep track of how close they are to writing a paper with Erdos himself.)

What does it mean to have a defined erdos bacon number?

An Erdős number is a mathematician's measure of "proximity" to the prolific mathematician Paul Erdős. Erdős is assigned the number 0 and all his coauthors have a number 1. People who have not written papers with Erdős, but have written with one of his coauthors have Erdős number 2, and so on. A Bacon number measures an actor's proximity to Kevin Bacon, much like an Erdős number. Kevin Bacon has Bacon number 0 and all his costars have Bacon number 1. An actor who has not appeared in a movie with Kevin Bacon, but has starred alongside one of Bacon's costars will have Bacon number 2, and so on. An Erdős-Bacon number is a combination of the two. It is defined to be the sum of a person's Erdős number and Bacon number. Since it crosses disciplines between mathematics and acting, most people have infinite (or undefined) Erdős-Bacon numbers. Slightly better terminology to saying a person has a "defined Erdos-Bacon number" would be to say that they have a "finite Erdos-Bacon number."
