Congruent numbers: from elementary to algebraic number theory
Abstract
Since nowadays electronic high speed computers of various sizes and types are commonly used at schools of all levels it appears to be in order to propose some appropriate mathematical problems which can be approached by means of a computer. For students this way of attacking such problems is certainly a valuable experience and should become an essential part of their scientific education.
