"Good Will Hunting" is based on the story of Will Hunting, a genius janitor at MIT who anonymously solves a complex mathematical problem written on a blackboard by renowned professor Gerald Lambeau.  

When Lambeau poses an even more challenging problem, Will solves it again, this time being caught in the act by the professor. Lambeau realizes that Will is the most gifted young mathematician at MIT. In the clip below, the following problems are written on the blackboard and Will Hunting is solving them: 

1. How many labeled-trees are there with n vertices? 

2. Draw all homomorphically irreducible trees with n = 10.
