1.导论.这项研究的灵感来自两个可爱的数学作品。第一个是William T. Tutte、AH Stone、RL布鲁克斯和CAB史密斯认为，具有整数边的正方形可以被具有整数边的较小正方形平铺，没有两个相同。Tutte在“Squaring the Square”中讲述了这个故事，这是一篇写得很漂亮的文章，生动地传达了数学研究的兴奋[9]。1958年，当马丁·加德纳在《科学美国人》的“数学游戏”专栏中重印时，它被广泛阅读。它无疑发挥了作用，激励许多人成为数学家。
1. INTRODUCTION. This research was inspired by two lovely pieces of mathematics. The first is the discovery by William T. Tutte, AH Stone, RL Brooks, and CAB Smith of squares with integral sides that can be tiled by smaller squares with integral sides, no two alike. Tutte tells the story in “Squaring the Square,” a beautifully written article that conveys vividly the excitement of mathematical research [9]. It became widely-read in 1958 when it was reprinted in Martin Gardner’s “Mathematical Games” column in Scientific American. It undoubtedly played a role in inspiring many to become mathematicians.
