TITLE
|
Just How Many Pythagorean Triples Are There, Anyway? | ||
|
DESCRIPTION
|
Sure, there's (3,4,5), (5,12,13), (7,24,25), and (8,15,17). But these are only the tips of two icebergs! Not only are there many more triples, but they fall neatly into whole families! We'll examine the possible families, categorizing them ALL according to two simple and surprising rules — and even see what families are absolutely impossible. | ||
