Description:
Speaker: Jason Redman (CCNY Math Department)
In 1736, Leonhard Euler was given a problem to which he said there is no solution. This problem laid the foundations of graph theory and prefigured the idea of topology. We will talk about this problem, which has no solution, and why it was so significant along with some fun explorations into the world of graph theory!
