7 bridges of Kningsberg

the problem of crossing all seven bridges ithout passing t ice over any one the result did not depend on : the length of the bridges their distance from one another UT on connectivity properties Riemann anted to solve the problem ith his new theory of functions of a complex variable( NOW CALLED Riemann surfaces)
