A Christmas Theorem: Sums of Two Squares (Part 2).
In this second part of two seminar series 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.
