  2. Fermat's theorem on sums of two squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermat's_theorem_on_sums_of...

    If two primes which end in 3 or 7 and surpass by 3 a multiple of 4 are multiplied, then their product will be composed of a square and the quintuple of another square. In other words, if p, q are of the form 20k + 3 or 20k + 7, then pq = x 2 + 5y 2. Euler later extended this to the conjecture that

  3. 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 ...

  4. Associative magic square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associative_magic_square

    The number zero for n = 6 is an example of a more general phenomenon: associative magic squares do not exist for values of n that are singly even (equal to 2 modulo 4). [3] Every associative magic square of even order forms a singular matrix , but associative magic squares of odd order can be singular or nonsingular.

  5. 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.

  6. Degree of a polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degree_of_a_polynomial

    For example, the polynomial x 2 y 2 + 3x 3 + 4y has degree 4, the same degree as the term x 2 y 2. However, a polynomial in variables x and y , is a polynomial in x with coefficients which are polynomials in y , and also a polynomial in y with coefficients which are polynomials in x .

  7. Fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraction

    The entire fraction may be expressed as a single composition, in which case it is hyphenated, or as a number of fractions with a numerator of one, in which case they are not. (For example, two-fifths is the fraction2 / 5 ⁠ and two fifths is the same fraction understood as 2 instances of ⁠ 1 / 5 ⁠.) Fractions should always be ...

  8. Erdős–Straus conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erdős–Straus_conjecture

    For instance, 2 is a non-square mod 3, so Mordell's result allows the existence of an identity for congruent to 2 mod 3. However, 1 is a square mod 3 (equal to the square of both 1 and 2 mod 3), so there can be no similar identity for all values of n {\displaystyle n} that are congruent to 1 mod 3.

  9. Square (algebra) - Wikipedia

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

    55, or 5 2 (5 squared), can be shown graphically using a square. Each block represents one unit, 1⋅1, and the entire square represents 55, or the area of the square. In mathematics, a square is the result of multiplying a number by itself. The verb "to square" is used to denote this operation.
