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.
