Shubin, Mikhail – Quantum, 1992
Presents a proof of Euler's Theorem on polyhedra by relating the theorem to the field of modern topology, specifically to the topology of relief maps. An analogous theorem involving the features of mountain summits, basins, and passes on a terrain is proved and related to the faces, vertices, and edges on a convex polyhedron. (MDH)
