On the Curved Patterns Seen in the Graph of PPTs

arXiv2104.09449MaRDI QIDQ6507560FDOQ6507560

Abstract: Dr. Ron Knott constructed a graph of all Primitive Pythagorean Triples (PPTs) with legs up to length 10,000, using Mathematica. The patterns are very interesting, suggesting conic sections. We show that they indeed are parabolic curves which follow in a natural way from the mathematics of the subject matter.
