learnin to learn Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 quadrilateral numbers? (are there such things?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 quadrilateral numbers? (are there such things?)The answer to the riddle is not quadrilateral numbers. However, there is such a thing, or things shall I say. We have two types of quadrilateral numbers, the square numbers & the oblong numbers.http://www.cs.utk.edu/~mclennan/BA/JO-TAT2.txt Both type belong to the meta-set called figurate or polygonal numbers (now under discussion in the Katabatak thread :confused: )Â PS Here is the gnomon for square numbers to 33 iterations:http://hypography.com/gallery/showimage.php?i=624&c=3&userid=796 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
