| | | | | Welcome to this week's Math Munch! What could techno rhythms, square-pieces dissections, and windshield wipershave in common? The Euclidean Algorithm! Say what? The Euclidean Algorithm is all about our good friend long division and is a great way of finding the greatest common factor of two numbers. It relies on the fact that if a... | |

| | | | | In my last post, I talked about a textbook I had written to use in a course which, among other things, introduced students to a non-Euclidean geometry -- spherical geometry. And while the primary purpose of the text was for teaching a college-level course, the actual content of the text had a different origin. As... | |

| | | Equations of the form $latex x^3 = y^2 + k$ are called Mordell equations. In this post we're going to prove that the equation $latex x^3 = y^2 -7$ has no integer solutions, using (with one exception) nothing more complicated than congruences. Theorem: There are no integer solutions to the equation $latex x^3 = y^2... | ||
