Please Note: This theorem is one of earliest instance of the h-principle, and there will be a series of talks on it this semester.
The Whitney-Graustein theorem classifies immersions of the circle
in
the plane by their turning
number. In this talk, I will describe a proof of this theorem, as well
as a related result due to Hopf.
