Dr. Damiano Fulghesu set to kick off this Spring’s Undergraduate Mathematics Seminar
Wednesday, Jan. 18 | 4-4:50 p.m. | Bridges 268
Featuring Damiano Fulghesu
A Christmas Theorem: Sums of Two Squares (Part 1).
In this series of two seminars we will present a classic result that classifies all positive integers that can be written as the sum of two perfect squares. The proof involved the contribution of many mathematicians throughout several centuries: Fermat, Mersenne, Gauss, Euler, and Dedekind.
