This is an interdisciplinary event using puzzles, story-telling, and original music and dance to interpret Euler's analysis of the problem of the Seven Bridges of Königsberg, and the birth of graph theory. Beginning at 11:00, students from GT's Club Math will be on the plaza between the Howie and Mason Buildings along Atlantic Dr., with information and hands-on puzzles related to Euler and to graphs. At 12:00 the performance will begin, as the GT Symphony Orchestra and a team of dancers interpret the story of the Seven Bridges.
