- The Euler Number (Geometry and the Imagination) - Conway, Doyle, Gilman, Thurston; The Geometry Center
If we have a polyhedron, we can compute its Euler number, x=V-E+F. In fact, we computed Euler numbers ad delectam. Why did we do this? One reason is that they are is easy to compute. But that is not obviously a compelling reason for doing anything in
