Review text

The Pythagorean theorem can be restated in the following way: the sum of the squares over the sides of a rectangle is equal to the sum of the squares over the diagonals. This point of view allows the author to give an \(n\)-dimensional generalization of the Pythagorean theorem in the following way: the sum of the squares over the edges of any \(n\)-dimensional box is equal to the sum of the squares over its diagonals. The elementary proof is of combinatorial character.
