Triangles with Integer Sides, Medians, and Area
Each week, for your edification, we publish a well-known unsolved mathematics problem. These postings are intended to inform you of some of the difficult, yet interesting, problems that mathematicians are investigating. We do not suggest that you tackle these problems, since mathematicians have been unsuccessfully working on these problems for many years.
