Euclid's theorem

Euclid's theorem is a fundamental statement in number theory that asserts that there are infinitely many prime numbers. It was first proved by Euclid in his work Elements. There are several proofs of the theorem. (Wikipedia).

Theory of numbers: Congruences: Euler's theorem

This lecture is part of an online undergraduate course on the theory of numbers. We prove Euler's theorem, a generalization of Fermat's theorem to non-prime moduli, by using Lagrange's theorem and group theory. As an application of Fermat's theorem we show there are infinitely many prim

Pythagorean Theorem VI (visual proof; Euclid's proof; 4K)

This is a short, animated visual proof of the Pythagorean theorem (the right triangle theorem) following essentially Euclid's proof. This theorem states the square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of squares of the two other side lengths. #math #pythagoreantheorem
