Mathematics Graph Theory and Königsberg Bridges
Graph theory began in 1736 when Leonhard Euler solved the Königsberg Bridge Problem: could you walk across all seven bridges exactly once? Euler proved it impossible, establishing graph theory principles. Graphs model networks of connections - social networks, computer networks, transportation systems, and molecular structures. Graph theory now underpins Google's PageRank algorithm, GPS navigation, and social network analysis.
