Annotation

Leonhard Euler's polyhedron formula describes the structure of many objects - from soccer balls and gemstones to Buckminster Fuller's buildings and giant all-carbon molecules. Yet Euler's formula is so simple it can be explained to a child. This title tells the story of this indispensable mathematical idea.
