[+] Introduction to Graphs on Surfaces: 2-cell embeddings, classification of surfaces, combinatorial embedding schemes, genus, cycles

We discuss some basics on graphs on surfaces as given in the book "Graphs on Surfaces" by Bojan Mohar and Carsten Thomassen. Specifically, we discuss 2-cell embeddings, classification of surfaces, combinatorial embedding schemes, genus, and cycles of embedded graphs.
