Title: Graph Theorists' Favorite Graph
Abstract: The Petersen Graph is a cubic graph with 10
vertices and 15 edges, which fascinated mathematicians for many years.
It's unique place in graph theory comes from the fact, that it serves
as a useful example and counterexample for many problems in graph
theory. In this talk we will discuss its origin and the most
interesting properties.
