-----------------------------------

The Pythagorean Triples Theorem shows us how to find primitive Pythagorean triples. It states that every primitive Pythagorean triple (a, b, c), with a odd and b even, can be found using the formulas

a = st, b = (s2 - t2)/2, and c = (s2 + t2)/2

where s > t ≥ 1 are chosen to be ...
