What?

The notion "congruent number", which are positive integers that appear as the area of a right angle triangle with rational sides, is over 1000 years old. In this talk, Jaap will tell something regarding its history, and illustrate how even today it involves unsolved problems and new research in arithmetic geometry.

Meet us in BB 5161.0105 for a fun informal talk by Jaap Top. There will be free snacks and drinks!
