• Gaussian function — In mathematics, a Gaussian function (named after Carl Friedrich Gauss) is a function of the form::f(x) = a e^{ { (x b)^2 over 2 c^2 } }for some real constants a > 0, b , c > 0, and e ≈ 2.718281828 (Euler s number).The graph of a Gaussian is a… …   Wikipedia

• Proofs of Fermat's theorem on sums of two squares — Fermat s theorem on sums of two squares asserts that an odd prime number p can be expressed as: p = x^2 + y^2with integer x and y if and only if p is congruent to 1 (mod 4). The statement was announced by Fermat in 1640, but he supplied no proof …   Wikipedia

• Fermat's theorem on sums of two squares — In number theory, Pierre de Fermat s theorem on sums of two squares states that an odd prime p is expressible as:p = x^2 + y^2,,with x and y integers, if and only if:p equiv 1 pmod{4}.The theorem is also known as Thue s Lemma, after Axel Thue.For …   Wikipedia
