... All the equations (i)-(vi) involve contradictions. Of these, perhaps (ii) is the least obvious. Let us therefore examine (ii), which is true for m = 2 (even) leading to c2 = 1, cx = 2 from (ii) and (8). Now c2 = 1 = a2 - h2 implies that a2 = 2 (b2 = 1) or a2 - 1 (b2 = 0), i.e., a2 ^ 0, which contrad ...

Lecture 2: Irrational numbers
... We want to appreciate one of the great moments of mathematics: the insight that there are numbers which are irrational. It was the Pythagoreans, who realized this first and - according to legend - tried even to ”cover the discovery up” and kill Hippasus, one of the earlier discoverers. We have seen ...

... Note that in (2) the base numbers are distinct except perhaps for ql=q0. We shall show that when this happens either c0 = 0 or else cx = 0; that is, the base number 1 occurs at most once in each evaluation of (3). For a proof, suppose that the proposition is false for some r, and let n be the least ...
