May 27, 2012 GB High School Mathematics, High School Number Theory

In the first part of this series, we have counted the number of squares on a chessboard, and we have discovered that it is equal to the sum of the squares of the first 8 positive integers. The numbers $1^2$ , $2^2$ , $3^2$ and so on are called square numbers.

This method can be generalized to compute for the number of squares on larger square boards. If the measure of a board is $n \times n$ , then the number of squares on it is » Read more
