Title: Lagrange's Four Square Theorem
Abstract: Lagrange's Four Square theorem states that any natural number can be written as the sum of four integers. This is the best we can do since, for example, 7 cannot be written as the sum of three squares. We will prove the theorem and take a look at the natural numbers that cannot be written as the sum of 3 squares.
