Erdos

Sophomore year when I decided that I didn't like physics classes I just happened to be reading "The Man Who Loved Only Numbers" by Hoffman. Between this and "How to Read and Do Proofs" by Solow, I saw mathematics as something much more beautiful. This combined with reading about Erdos style of mathematics made me really attracted to research and led to my first REU experience. It was all downhill from there.
