Pell's Equation
Pell's equation, also called the Pell–Fermat equation, is any Diophantine equation of the form x^2 - ny^2 = 1, where ''n'' is a given positive nonsquare integer, and integer solutions are sought for ''x'' and ''y''. In Cartesian coordinates, the equation is represented by a hyperbola; solutions occur wherever the curve passes through a point whose ''x'' and ''y'' coordinates are both integers, such as the trivial solution with ''x'' = 1 and ''y'' = 0. Joseph Louis Lagrange proved that, as long as ''n'' is not a perfect square, Pell's equation has infinitely many distinct integer solutions. These solutions may be used to accurately approximate the square root of ''n'' by rational numbers of the form ''x''/''y''. This equation was first studied extensively in India starting with Brahmagupta, who found an integer solution to 92x^2 + 1 = y^2 in his ''Brāhmasphuṭasiddhānta'' circa 628.
