• Resumen

  • Direct study of various characteristics of integers and their interactions is readily accessible to undergraduate students. Integers obviously fall in different classes of modular rings and thus have features unique to that class which can result in a variety of formations, particularly with sums of squares. The sum of the first nodd numbers is itself the square of nwithin the odd number sequence, from which testing for primality within the Fibonacci sequence is investigated in this note.
