    sphere and the torus as topological surfaces. Using ideas from topology, we introduce an invariant of a surface known as the Euler characteristic. We will prove that the Euler characteristic of the sphere is 2 and we will describe how known proofs of the Euler characteristic of the sphere may or may not be used to determine the Euler characteristic of the torus.
