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 ...

Do you think there’s a triangle whose angles measure 41, 76 and 63 degrees? At first, answering this may seem easy. From geometry class we know that the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a ...

The Pythagorean theorem is crucial in various fields, including construction, manufacturing and navigation, enabling precise measurements and the creation of right angles for large structures. It ...

British professor Sir Andrew Wiles was awarded mathematics’ most prestigious prize this week, for providing the proof to a theorem that had stymied everyone in the field for over 350 years. Wiles was ...

British number theorist Andrew Wiles has received the 2016 Abel Prize for his solution to Fermat’s last theorem — a problem that stumped some of the world’s greatest minds for three and a half ...
