Contributions Euler's theorem- Every rotation has an axis Euler’s Formula- Exponentials and imaginary numbers Optics, mechanics, electricity, and magnetism Differential Equations- Unknown function that of one or Several variables that relates the values of the function itself. Moons location and planets location from the sun and moon and their lunar orbit. Topography Seven Bridges of Konigsberg/ graph theory π
Graph theory Figured out how to solve The seven Bridges of Konigsberg First theorem of graph theory and planar theory V − E + F = 2 relating the number of vertices, edges and faces of a convex polyhedron – Convex set of points N- Dimensional space
Changes Taught in schools Contributes to architecture Helped find shorter routes, on bridges and roads Provided the foundation for studying graphs w/ general degree distributions –Probability Distribution of degrees over the whole network
