V-E+F=2, also known as Euler's Formula. This formula originally described a relationship between the faces, edges, and vertices of the 5 platonic Solids, but actually has a deeper significance as an equation connecting the vast subtopics of topology, including graph theory, knot theory, the 4-co/5. · From ancient Greek geometry to today's cutting-edge research, Euler's Gem celebrates the discovery of Euler's beloved polyhedron formula 5/5(1). · From ancient Greek geometry to today’s cutting-edge research, Euler’s Gem celebrates the discovery of Euler’s beloved polyhedron formula and its far-reaching impact on topology, the study of shapes. In , Euler observed that any polyhedron composed of V vertices, E edges, and F faces satisfies the equation V-E+F=2. David Richeson tells how the Greeks missed the formula entirely; .
Rather than giving a simple history of topology, I chose Euler's polyhedron formula as a tour guide. Discovered in , Euler's formula marks the beginning of the transition period from geometry to topology. The book follows Euler's formula as it evolved from a curiosity into a deep and useful theorem.
