An exploration of of various maths topics that appear in the most unexpected of places, and what they can teach us about the fascinating world we live in.
You're reading a maths blog. Suddenly, a wild post appears, bearing down on you with the full might of its unproven theroems and complicated definitions! Roll for initiative!
So I mentioned in my final lattice graphs post that I'd put up how I generated the bridging numbers. This is that post.
It's time to summarize our findings on lattice embeddable graphs! Today, we'll wrap up our ideas about this topic with some general thoughts for the future. Let’s get started!
Today, we're going to do something magical.
But first, we're going to move through many, many different ideas in quick succession.
Which ones? Read on to find out?
In our last post, we learned what a lattice is, and before that, we learned what a graph is. It's time to combine the two.
But how? Read on to find out!
So we have this infinite 2D factory floor, but are only allowed to place machines in neat rows and columns. How can we encode this in the language of Graph Theory?

While I write the next part of our Graph Theory series, I'd like to talk about something that's been on my mind of recent.
...It's been on my mind as I'm very easily distracted by it.
What is it? Read on to find out!
Imagine, for a moment, that you're building a factory. It's your job to decide where the machines go, and how to connect them. You've not been told what you're going to be building, so you need to know what you can possibly put in the factory.
Unfortunately your construction manager is a rather eccentric fellow.

I'm Wolfie, and I'll be your wonderful guide throuɡh all the topics we'll explore.
But what am I doing here, anyway?
