The Circle Packing Theorem is a result in mathematics that concerns arrangements of circles in a plane. Specifically, the theorem states that given any simple closed curve (a curve that does not intersect itself), it is possible to pack a finite number of circles within that curve such that all the circles are tangent to each other and to the curve.
