Comments

Entry 17a from July 9, 1796 in Gauss's Mathematical Diary: "Summa trium quadratorum continue proportionalium numquam primus esse potest: conspicuum exemplum novimus et quod congruum videtur. Confidamus." Paul Bachmann explains that this note is based on Gauss's discovery of this factorization: n^4 + n^2*k^2 + k^4 = (n^2 + n*k + k^2) * (n^2 - n*k + k^2).
