Solution to a Geometry problem: Euler's Theorem in Graph Theory

why was this on my recomended list?

[bigdavehunter]

Thanks. Good explanations.

Thats brilliant!

You capture the essence of teaching, making a seemingly complicated idea simple. Even Wiki mucks this up. Your piece of string with ends that must create no more than two odd knots is brilliantly simple. Thanks.

@lennyw99 Thank you, I appreciate that!

venaziano realized that the beta function described scattering amplitudes which helped him understand the strong atomic forces.

i can see a ma playing with strings with big fingers and i cannot understand anything

I do the Eular math contest for school...

@stake101 Yes, they use Beta function, as a tool, like any other mathematical tool. But Euler did not work on that (string theory, or its origins). Beta function is a particular case of Euler's Integral, that's it.

@stake101 String theory? Well, I know something called that name in physics (though the fact that it is a theory is debated), but it is not related to Euler's works...

@stake101 You're right. Knowing how to pronounce German names in English when you're French is a challenge. I missed that one. I'll be better next time.
