Computing My Erdős Number

One of the things that academics due to waste time is figure out how many degrees of seperation there are between them and the famous (and very prolific) mathematician Paul Erdős, where each degree is "published a paper with". This is their Erdős number, which is analagous to the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon game, except the people are a lot more boring and a lot less attractive (except me, of course, being both handsome and exciting!) So to pitch in my contribution, here's how I compute my Erdős number of four.
