You'd have a hard time finding Königsberg on any modern maps, but one particular quirk in its geography has made it one of the most famous cities in mathematics.

The medieval German city lay on both sidesof the Pregel River. At the center were two large islands. The two islands were connected to each other and to the river banks by seven bridges.

Carl Gottlieb Ehler, a mathematician wholater became the mayor of a nearby town, grew obsessed with these islands and bridges.

He kept coming back to a single question: Which route would allow someoneto cross all seven bridges without crossing any of them more than once? Think about it for a moment.

You should Give up.

It's not possible.

But attempting to explain why, famous mathematician Leonhard Euler to invent a new field of mathematics.

Carl wrote to Euler for helpwith the problem. The answer he came up with had to do with a type of geometry that did not quite exist yet,what he called the Geometry of Position, now known as Graph Theory.

Dichotomy Paradox

Zeno of Elea, an ancient Greek philosopher famous for inventing a number of paradoxes, arguments that seem logical, but whose conclusion is absurd or contradictory. For more than 2,000 years, Zeno's mind-bending riddles have inspired mathematicians and philosophers to better understand the nature of infinity. One of the best known of Zeno's problems is called the Dichotomy Paradox , which means, " the paradox of cutting in two " in ancient Greek. It goes something like this: After a long day of sitting around, thinking, Zeno decides to walk from his house to the park. The fresh air clears his mind and help him think better. In order to get to the park, he first has to get half way to the park. This portion of his journey takes some finite amount of time. Once he gets to the halfway point, he needs to walk half the remaining distance. Again, this takes a finite amount of time. Once he gets there, he still needs to walk half the distance that's left, which take...
