Conjectures that have been proved | Diophantine equations | Theorems in number theory | Conjectures
Catalan's conjecture (or Mihăilescu's theorem) is a theorem in number theory that was conjectured by the mathematician Eugène Charles Catalan in 1844 and proven in 2002 by Preda Mihăilescu at Paderborn University. The integers 23 and 32 are two perfect powers (that is, powers of exponent higher than one) of natural numbers whose values (8 and 9, respectively) are consecutive. The theorem states that this is the only case of two consecutive perfect powers. That is to say, that Catalan's conjecture — the only solution in the natural numbers of for a, b > 1, x, y > 0 is x = 3, a = 2, y = 2, b = 3. (Wikipedia).

A Beautiful Proof of Ptolemy's Theorem.
Ptolemy's Theorem seems more esoteric than the Pythagorean Theorem, but it's just as cool. In fact, the Pythagorean Theorem follows directly from it. Ptolemy used this theorem in his astronomical work. Google for the historical details. Thanks to this video for the idea of this visual

The other famous classical theorem about cyclic quadrilaterals is due to the great Greek astronomer and mathematician, Claudius Ptolemy. Adopting a rational point of view, we need to rethink this theorem to state it in a purely algebraic way, without resort to `distances' and the correspon

In this video we introduce the Catalan Numbers, which is a way of looking at lattice paths from (0,0) to (n,n) where it never crosses the diagonal line. This is also the number of ways to multiply n+1 products. Visit our website: http://bit.ly/1zBPlvm Subscribe on YouTube: http://bit.ly/1
