Talk:Squared triangular number

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It would be nice to include the picture proof from http://users.tru.eastlink.ca/~brsears/math/oldprob.htm#s32, since it is clearer than the one already on this page, but I am not sure about the copyright status of the images. Please advise.

It is a pretty proof. I think only the second of the two images there can easily stand on its own. BUT, I would like to know the source of the proof. Has it been published anywhere? Is it the same as one of the existing proofs already known in the article? I don't think a web page makes an adequate reference for a problem with as much history as this one. —David Eppstein 02:22, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
