edition. Hardback with dark blue
wrapper. 128 pages. Small
4to. 221 x 161mm height x width trimmed page
size. Since student days the author has been
intrigued that the square of the sum of consecutive integers starting
at 1 equals the sum of the same sequence with power 3. A
few years ago this became a serious investigation leading to the
discovery of the utilique theorem. The utiliques are a sequence of
positive integers whose value depends on position in a table across and
down. The two utilique functions are used to give a new
formula for a positive integer raised to an even power.
