We consider the problem of finding 4 rational squares, such that the product of any two plus the sum of the same two always gives a square. We give some historical background and exhibit one such quadruple.

[0909.1666] On Sets of Integers where Each Pair Sums to a Square
We discuss the problem of finding distinct integer sets {x1,x2,...,xn} where each sum xi+xj,i≠j is a square, and n≤7. We confirm minimal results of Lagrange and Nicolas for n=5 and for the related problem with triples. We provide new solution sets for n=6 to add to the single known set. This provides new information for problem D15 in Guy's {\it Unsolved Problems in Number Theory}

We consider right prisms with horizontal quadrilateral bases and tops, and vertical rectangular sides. We look for examples where all the edges, face diagonals and space diagonals are integers. We find examples when the base is an isosceles trapezium and a parallelogram, but no solution for a kite or rhombus.

[1109.2396] New Solutions of $d=2x^3+y^3+z^3$
We discuss finding large integer solutions of d=2x3+y3+z3 by using Elsenhans and Jahnel's adaptation of Elkies' LLL-reduction method. We find 28 first solutions for |d|<10000.

[1312.1793] "Nice" Rational Functions
We consider simple rational functions Rmn(x)=Pm(x)/Qn(x), with Pm and Qn polynomials of degree m and n respectively. We look for "nice" functions, which we define to be ones where as many as possible of the roots, poles, critical points and (possibly) points of inflexion are integer or, at worst, rational.

Graphical Linear Algebra
And because arithmetic science and geometric science are connected, and support one another, the full knowledge of numbers cannot be presented without encountering some geometry, or without seeing that operating in this way on numbers is close to geometry; the method is full of many proofs and demonstrations that are made with geometric figures.…
