We discuss applications of Eulers formula to various planar situations, in particular to planar graphs, including complete and complete bipartite graphs, the Five neighbours theorem, the Six colouring theorem, and to Picks formula, which lets us compute the area of an integral polygonal figure by counting lattice points inside and on the boundary.
This is the tenth lecture of this beginners course in Algebraic Topology by N J Wildberger of UNSW.
