Session Evaluation
One of Dr. Fred Stevenson's gifts to the world was a treasure trove of enjoyable (and often surprisingly deep) mathematical explorations. One of his favorite topics to explore was one that fascinated mathematicians from the ancient Babylonians to the present day: the search for Pythagorean triples, integer solutions to the equation a^2 + b^2 = c^2. In this session, we'll see how this intriguing puzzle lies at the intersection of algebra, geometry, and number theory, we'll see how we can use modern, classroom-friendly tools to search for triples, and we'll explore what this age-old puzzle, used by Fred in his summer math camps, might have to offer for our own students today.
