===============================
Many of the ideas in this video came from, or were inspired by, "Roads and Wheels," an article by Leon Hall and Stan Wagon that appeared in Mathematics Magazine, Vol. 65, No. 5 (Dec 1992). If you want a deeper dive (or if you want spoilers for the next video), I encourage you to read it yourself. As far as math papers go, it's fairly easy to read:
