@GWOMaths Today we enjoy the famous MARKOV EQUATION

x² + y² + z² = 3xyz

This simple equation results in some utterly fabulous number theory!

Fancy some fun? Come take a peek.

[Thread…] @GWOMaths 1 THE MARKOV EQUATION

The Markov equation seeks positive integers x, y, z that satisfy

x² + y² + z² = 3xyz

If (x, y, z) satisfies the Markov equation, it is a MARKOV TRIPLE

Each of x, y and z is then a MARKOV NUMBER Image
