The Seven Bridges of Konigsberg

The video discusses the Seven Bridges of Königsberg problem, a famous mathematical puzzle about crossing each bridge in the city only once. Leonhard Euler solved it in 1735 by proving it impossible, laying the foundation for graph theory. Euler represented land areas as vertices and bridges as arcs, showing that a path crossing each bridge once couldn't exist due to the odd number of arcs at each vertex. This work introduced Eulerian paths, influencing fields like electrical engineering and computer science.
