  2. Sum of two squares theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sum_of_two_squares_theorem

    Of the primes occurring in this decomposition, 2, 5, and 7, only 7 is congruent to 3 modulo 4. Its exponent in the decomposition, 2, is even. Therefore, the theorem states that it is expressible as the sum of two squares. Indeed, 2450 = 7 2 + 49 2. The prime decomposition of the number 3430 is 2 · 5 · 7 3. This time, the exponent of 7 in the ...

  3. Square (algebra) - Wikipedia

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

    5⋅5, or 5 2 (5 squared), can be shown graphically using a square. Each block represents one unit, 1⋅1, and the entire square represents 5⋅5, 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.

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

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

    Fermat's theorem on sums of two squares is strongly related with the theory of Gaussian primes.. A Gaussian integer is a complex number + such that a and b are integers. The norm (+) = + of a Gaussian integer is an integer equal to the square of the absolute value of the Gaussian integer.

  5. Symbols of grouping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbols_of_grouping

    [2] A superscript is understood to be grouped as long as it continues in the form of a superscript. For example if an x has a superscript of the form a+b, the sum is the exponent. For example: x 2+3, it is understood that the 2+3 is grouped, and that the exponent is the sum of 2 and 3. These rules are understood by all mathematicians.

  6. Pushout (category theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pushout_(category_theory)

    The pushout consists of an object P along with two morphisms X → P and Y → P that complete a commutative square with the two given morphisms f and g. In fact, the defining universal property of the pushout (given below) essentially says that the pushout is the "most general" way to complete this commutative square.

  7. Missing square puzzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_square_puzzle

    The missing square puzzle is an optical illusion used in mathematics classes to help students reason about geometrical figures; or rather to teach them not to reason using figures, but to use only textual descriptions and the axioms of geometry. It depicts two arrangements made of similar shapes in slightly different configurations.

  8. 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 ...

  9. Square-integrable function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square-integrable_function

    In mathematics, a square-integrable function, also called a quadratically integrable function or function or square-summable function, [1] is a real- or complex-valued measurable function for which the integral of the square of the absolute value is finite.
