Circle packing

Okay kiddo, do you know what circles are? They're like round shapes, right? Now, imagine we have a bunch of these circles and we want to arrange them in a way that they all fit nicely together without any spaces between them. This is called circle packing!

It's like trying to fit as many marbles as possible into a jar, but we want to make sure they're all touching each other without any gaps.

There are different ways to do this depending on the size and number of circles. Sometimes, we can fit them all perfectly like puzzle pieces, but other times we might have to overlap them a bit, meaning one circle is on top of another.

Circle packing can be used for different things like designing logos, creating patterns, and even in math and science. People have been studying it for a long time to come up with ways to pack the most circles into a given space.

So, in a nutshell, circle packing is arranging circles together without any spaces between them. It's like a puzzle, but with circles!
