The circle packing theorem (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_packing_theorem): every planar graph can be represented by the tangencies of a system of non-overlapping circles.

This theorem was proved by Koebe in 1936, and popularized in the 1980s by Fields medalist William Thurston as a discrete analogue to conformal mapping and uniformization. Its Wikipedia article was created by Oded Schramm in 2008, not long before his untimely mountaineering death. In his own research, Schramm found deep analogies between random walks on circle packings and Brownian motion. My interests in circle packing relate to its use in drawing graphs, constructing polyhedra for given graphs, modeling soap bubble foams, and finding planar separators. And others have found even more varied applications from the study of discrete symmetry groups of hyperbolic space to methods for visualizing the functional areas of the human brain, spread out into a flattened map.
