Peculiar network facts

• Erdös number: 2 (via Marcel Erné)
• according to the Mathematics Genealogy, my almost complete lineage is:
  Nicolaus Copernicus → Georg Joachim von Leuchen Rheticus → Valentin Otto → Melchior Jöstel → Ambrosius Rhodius → Christoph Notnagel → Johann Andreas Quenstedt → Michael Walther Jr. → Johann Pasch → Johann Andreas Planer → Christian August Hausen → Abraham Gotthelf Kästner → Georg Christoph Lichtenberg → Johann Tobias Mayer → Enno Heeren Dirksen → Carl Gustav Jacob Jacobi → Emmy Amalie Noether → Max Deuring → Max Koecher → Marcel Erné → Jobst Heitzig, which is by no means special since in their database almost 2/3 of all mathematicians go back to Copernicus!
