  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. Associative magic square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associative_magic_square

    For instance, the Lo Shu Square – the unique 3 × 3 magic square – is associative, because each pair of opposite points form a line of the square together with the center point, so the sum of the two opposite points equals the sum of a line minus the value of the center point regardless of which two opposite points are chosen. [4]

  4. Sum of squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sum_of_squares

    For representing an integer as a sum of squares of 4 integers, see Lagrange's four-square theorem; Legendre's three-square theorem states which numbers can be expressed as the sum of three squares; Jacobi's four-square theorem gives the number of ways that a number can be represented as the sum of four squares.

  5. 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.

  6. Orders of magnitude (length) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(length)

    The millimetre (SI symbol: mm) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10 −3 metres (⁠ 1 / 1 000 ⁠ m = 0.001 m). To help compare different orders of magnitude , this section lists lengths between 10 −3 m and 10 −2 m (1 mm and 1 cm).

  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. Unit square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_square

    In mathematics, a unit square is a square whose sides have length 1. Often, the unit square refers specifically to the square in the Cartesian plane with corners at the four points (0, 0 ), (1, 0) , (0, 1) , and (1, 1) .

  9. Magic constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_constant

    For example, a normal 8 × 8 square will always equate to 260 for each row, column, or diagonal. The normal magic constant of order n is ⁠ n 3 + n / 2 ⁠. The largest magic constant of normal magic square which is also a: triangular number is 15 (solve the Diophantine equation x 2 = y 3 + 16y + 16, where y is divisible by 4);
