Target entity: Gauss’s Eureka theorem on triangular numbers
Context triple: [Fermat polygonal number theorem, generalizes, Gauss’s Eureka theorem on triangular numbers]
  • A. Gauss’s remarkable theorem
    Gauss’s remarkable theorem is a fundamental result in differential geometry showing that the Gaussian curvature of a surface is an intrinsic property independent of how the surface is embedded in space.
  • B. Fermat polygonal number theorem
    The Fermat polygonal number theorem is a result in number theory stating that every positive integer can be expressed as a sum of a fixed number of polygonal numbers of a given order.
  • C. Fermat's theorem on sums of two squares
    Fermat's theorem on sums of two squares is a result in number theory stating exactly which prime numbers (and, more generally, which integers) can be expressed as the sum of two perfect squares.
  • D. Gauss’s lemma in number theory
    Gauss’s lemma in number theory is a result that relates the Legendre symbol to the number of sign changes in a certain sequence of multiples, providing a practical criterion for determining quadratic residues modulo an odd prime.
  • E. Three Pearls of Number Theory
    Three Pearls of Number Theory is a classic mathematical text that presents three elegant and accessible problems in number theory, illustrating deep ideas through simple, beautifully explained examples.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
