Lagrange's four-square theorem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Lagrange's four-square theorem is a special case of the Fermat polygonal number theorem and Waring's problem. Lagrange's four-square theorem, also known as Bachet's conjecture, was proved in 1770 by Joseph Louis Lagrange. Adrien-Marie Legendre improved on the theorem in 1798 by stating that a positive integer can be expressed as the sum of three squares iff it is not of the form 4 www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Lagrange%27s_four-square_theorem   (212 words)

Joseph Louis Lagrange - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia His proof of the theorem that every positive integer which is not a square can be expressed as the sum of two, three or four integral squares, 1770. Lagrange, who was present, now discussed the whole subject afresh, and in a letter communicated to the Academy in 1808 explained how, by the variation of arbitrary constants, the periodical and secular inequalities of any system of mutually interacting bodies could be determined. In 1761 Lagrange stood without a rival as the foremost mathematician living; but the unceasing labour of the preceding nine years had seriously affected his health, and the doctors refused to be responsible for his reason or life unless he would take rest and exercise. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Joseph_Louis_Lagrange   (3064 words)

Fermat polygonal number theorem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A well-known special case of this is Lagrange's four-square theorem. Jacobi proved the square case in 1772 and Gauss proved the triangular case in 1796, but the theorem was not resolved until it was finally proven by Cauchy in 1813. Every positive integer is a sum of at most n n - polygonal numbers. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Fermat_Polygonal_Number_Theorem   (238 words)

Square number Lagrange's four-square theorem states that any positive integer can be written as the sum of at most 4 perfect squares. In mathematics, a square number, sometimes also called a perfect square, is a positive integer that can be written as the square of some other integer. A square number is also the sum of two consecutive triangular numbers. www.sciencedaily.com /encyclopedia/square_number   (444 words)

The development of Thue's Theorem is not normally considered part of a course in introductory number theory, but we have presented a short proof of it, and are able to use it effectively throughout. Complete solutions of Diophantine equation x^2-Dy^2=n for D>0 are given in via a non-standard approach using what we call semi-simple continued fractions. www.math.ucalgary.ca /~ramollin/fnt2.html   (331 words)

The Yacas Book of Algorithms The Miller-Rabin algorithm improves on this by using the property that for prime n there are no nontrivial square roots of unity in the ring of integers modulo n (this is Lagrange's theorem). It is not a requirement of the algorithm that the algorithm being worked with is square-free, but it speeds up computations to work with the square-free part of the polynomial if the only thing sought after is the set of factors. The main algorithm for the calculation of the GCD of two integers is the binary Euclidean algorithm. yacas.sourceforge.net /Algo.html   (16224 words)

Essential_Physics.txt The area of the shaded square area is (b - a) 2 = b 2 - 2ab + a 2 We have postulated the invariance of length and angle under translations and rotations and therefore c 2 = 2ab + (b - a) 2 = a 2 + b 2. He gives a proof of the most famous theorem of Euclidean Geometry, namely Pythagoras' theorem, that is based on the invariance of length and angle (and therefore of area) under translations and rotations in space. The Calculus of Variations is an important topic in Physics and Mathematics; it is introduced in Chapter 9, where it is shown to lead to the ideas of the Lagrange and Hamilton functions. hoya.georgetown.edu /eric/pics/Corpora/Essential_Physics.txt   (16054 words)

Euler's four-square identity - Music Voyager Travel Guides : Information Portal The identity was used by Lagrange to prove his four square theorem[?]. In mathematics, Euler's four-square identity says that the product of two numbers, each of which being a sum of four squares, is itself a sum of four squares. If the as and bs are real numbers, a more elegant proof is available: the identity expresses the fact that the absolute value of the product of two quaternions is equal to the product of their absolute values. www.musicvoyager.com /info/eu/Euler%27s_four-square_identity.html   (1342 words)

96-171.latex \end{equation} The Schwarzian derivative was already known to Lagrange (\cite{lagrange}) and Klein (\cite{klein}) and plays a key role in the theory of functions of one complex variable. Then the action by projective transformations is isomorphic to the right action of $\Gamma$ on $P\backslash G.$ Let $\Delta_1=(\gamma'(x))^{-2}$ be the inverse of the square of the derivative cocycle for the $\Gamma$ action. To finish the proof of Theorem~\ref{thm-main} all we have to do now is to prove that $T$ is a continuous coboundary. www.ma.utexas.edu /mp_arc/e/96-171.latex   (1388 words)
