The Fáry–Milnor theorem is a result in the field of geometric topology, specifically concerning the properties of simple closed curves in three-dimensional Euclidean space. The theorem states that every simple closed curve in \(\mathbb{R}^3\) can be represented as a polygonal curve (a finite concatenation of straight line segments) with a finite number of vertices.
