Lecture 3

Here are the notes from the lecture. I edited these notes, so I take the blame for any mistakes.

The proof that I gave of Koebe's theorem can be found in

Combinatorial Geometry, by Janos Pach and Pankaj K. Agarwal. 1995, John Wiley and Sons.

I like this book a lot!

"On Thurston's formulation and proof of Andreev's theory," in Lecture Notes in Mathematics, no. 1435, Springer-Verlag, 1990

I have both of these out from the library, but I will return them tomorrow (and keep copies of the articles in my office).

A proof of the planar graph theorem may be found here.
