Undergrad Prove that a triangle with lattice points cannot be equilateral
I assumed three points for a triangle P1 = (a, c), P2 = (c, d), P3 = (b, e) and of course: a, b, c, d, e∈Z Using the distance formula between each of the points and setting them equal: \sqrt { (b - a)^2 + (e - d)^2 } = \sqrt { (c - a)^2 + (d - d)^2 } = \sqrt { (b - c)^2 + (e - d)^2 }(e+d)2 =...- JoeAllen

Studying Reading "How to Prove It" right before taking Calculus I -- Question
I have to be honest, this is going to be my first time taking a math course since high school, and it's been awhile. Everything I'm doing here is mostly self-taught. I'm not even sure what textbook will be given to me for my calculus 1 course. As a matter of fact, I might not even have the...- JoeAllen

Studying Reading "How to Prove It" right before taking Calculus I -- Question
3b1b has excellent videos, I'll say that. Hell, I might even slow myself down and quickly ace Precalculus before taking Calculus (I have fears that my pre-algebra and pre-calculus aren't "good enough" for some reason). You seem to have some good advice, and, besides, I'd rather wait to write...- JoeAllen

Studying Reading "How to Prove It" right before taking Calculus I -- Question
Alright. I'll just finish up this chapter for my own enjoyment and continue on with my calculus courses. I'm not sure about my future math courses and their rigor, but I do have multivariable calculus, elementary linear algebra, and an introductory course on differential equations. Though, I do...- JoeAllen

Studying Reading "How to Prove It" right before taking Calculus I -- Question
If I were to read up to and including Chapter 3, would I be prepared enough to read Spivak's Calculus or at least some single variable calculus text based on proofs? I'm asking because I plan on taking Real Analysis later and I'd like to gain a better understanding of Calculus. I have read...- JoeAllen
