Lead Speaker:
Stefanie M. Hassan


 

In this session we will take a brief look at how the Babylonians found Pythagorean triples about 4000 years ago and how we can use a modified version of their strategy, one that requires systems of equations, to find our own triples. Next we will examine how to use the Pythagorean theorem to find the equation of a circle. Yes, a circle.
