We investigate here the representability of integers as sums of triangular numbers, where the n-th triangular number is given by Tn = n(n+1)/2. In particular, we show ...

Pythagoras’ theorem is a statement that is true for all right-angled triangles.It states that the area of the square on the hypotenuse close hypotenuseThe longest side of a right-angled triangle, ...

An understanding of how to use Pythagoras’ theorem to find missing sides in a right-angled triangle is essential for applying the theorem in different contexts. (3,1) is the coordinate that is 3 along ...

Pythagoras Theorem: The Pythagoras Theorem is a fundamental principle in geometry, attributed to the ancient Greek mathematician Pythagoras. This theorem establishes a relationship between the sides ...

The most important theorem we learnt in childhood carries the name of a Greek philosopher, but not necessarily the legacy.

On November 26, 1949, Albert Einstein published an essay in the Saturday Review of Literature in which he described two pivotal moments in his childhood. The first involved a compass that his father ...

There’s a delightful mathematical moment in the movie Merry Andrew, when Danny Kaye, playing schoolmaster Andrew Larabee, breaks into song to teach the Pythagorean theorem. I was reminded of this ...

Two years ago, a couple of high school classmates each composed a mathematical marvel, a trigonometric proof of the Pythagorean theorem. Now, they’re unveiling 10 more. For over 2,000 years, such ...

Let (H, R) be a triangular Hopf algebra and let V be a finite-dimensional representation of H. Following Manin we imitate the standard algebraic constructions in order to define the relativized ...
