Abstract

Students in high school learn about Pythagorean triples. They consist of three positive integers a, b, c satisfying the relation a 2 + b 2 = c 2 . Some students wonder about an extension to the relation where both sides involve the sum of several squares. Here we give the complete solution of an extension. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
