Dr. Damiano Fulghesu to present in the Undergraduate Math Seminar today

Wednesday, Jan. 25 | 4-4:50 p.m. | Bridges 268

Featuring Damiano Fulghesu 

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.
