Project Mathematics! video modules were created between 1988 and 2000. Another two modules, "Teachers Workshop" and "Project MATHEMATICS! Contest", were created in 1991 for teachers and are only available on videotape. The content of the nine educational modules follows below. In 1988, "The Theorem of Pythagoras" was the first video produced by the series and reviews the Pythagorean theorem. For all right triangles, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides ( a + b = c ). The theorem is named after Pythagoras of ancient Greece. Pythagorean triples occur when all
Pythagorean prime Pythagorean prime A Pythagorean prime is a prime number of the form 4"n" + 1. Pythagorean primes are exactly the odd prime numbers that are the sum of two squares; this characterization is Fermat's theorem on sums of two squares. Equivalently, by the Pythagorean theorem, they are the odd prime numbers "p" for which is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with integer legs, and they are also the prime numbers "p" for which "p" itself is the hypotenuse of a Pythagorean triangle. For instance, the number 5 is a Pythagorean prime; is the hypotenuse of a
