The Euler theorem states that \(V+E+F=2\) for each convex polytope \(P\) in the 3-dimensional Euclidean space, where \(V\), \(E\), and \(F\) are the numbers of vertices, edges, and faces of \(P\). The author gives an elementary proof of this theorem, discusses elementary topological properties of curved surfaces, and generalizes the Euler theorem to curved surfaces. The article is based on a lecture given by the author for secondary school teachers in the framework of the ``International Soros Science Educational Program'' and is aimed at presenting contemporary developments in mathematics on an elementary level understandable for secondary school teachers and pupils.
