Extract

Shiu has shown [1] that there are infinitely many triangular numbers that are also square. He remarked that while his theorem did give a list of such numbers, it did not give all of them. It seemed that there might be a reiterative method, working in integers, that gave more of these triangular square numbers, and which included all the known smaller numbers.
