  2. Square number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_number

    A non-negative integer is a square number when its square root is again an integer. For example, =, so 9 is a square number. A positive integer that has no square divisors except 1 is called square-free. For a non-negative integer n, the n th square number is n 2, with 0 2 = 0 being the zeroth one. The concept of square can be extended to some ...

  3. Square (algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_(algebra)

    The square of an integer may also be called a square number or a perfect square. In algebra, the operation of squaring is often generalized to polynomials, other expressions, or values in systems of mathematical values other than the numbers. For instance, the square of the linear polynomial x + 1 is the quadratic polynomial (x + 1) 2 = x 2 ...

  4. Difference of two squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Difference_of_two_squares

    Another geometric proof proceeds as follows: We start with the figure shown in the first diagram below, a large square with a smaller square removed from it. The side of the entire square is a, and the side of the small removed square is b. The area of the shaded region is . A cut is made, splitting the region into two rectangular pieces, as ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Square_number

    An easy way to find square numbers is to find two numbers which have a mean of it, 21 2:20 and 22, and then multiply the two numbers together and add the square of the distance from the mean: 22 × 20 = 440 and 440 + 1 2 = 441. That could bear translation into English. Michael Hardy 18:56, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

    A square-free integer is an integer that is not divisible by any square other than 1. square number A square number is an integer that is the square of an integer. For example, 4 and 9 are squares, but 10 is not a square. Szpiro Szpiro's conjecture is, in a modified form, equivalent to the abc conjecture.

  7. Congruence of squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congruence_of_squares

    This corresponds to a set of y values whose product is a square number, i.e. one whose factorization has only even exponents. The products of x and y values together form a congruence of squares. This is a classic system of linear equations problem, and can be efficiently solved using Gaussian elimination as soon as the number of rows exceeds ...

  8. List of recreational number theory topics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_recreational...

    This is a list of recreational number theory topics (see number theory, recreational mathematics). Listing here is not pejorative : many famous topics in number theory have origins in challenging problems posed purely for their own sake.

  9. Sum of squares function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sum_of_squares_function

    The number of ways to write a natural number as sum of two squares is given by r 2 (n). It is given explicitly by = (() ()) where d 1 (n) is the number of divisors of n which are congruent to 1 modulo 4 and d 3 (n) is the number of divisors of n which are congruent to 3 modulo 4. Using sums, the expression can be written as:
