Euler's Fingerprint: A Deep Dive into the Euler Characteristic

Take a guided tour of the Euler characteristic, the resilient topological invariant that remains the same under bending and stretching. We'll trace its history—from Morolico and Euler to Cauchy—and explore how it counts building blocks in CW complexes, distinguishes a sphere from a torus, and extends to higher-dimensional spaces and even cosmology.
