The Greek architect Kostas Vittas published in 2006 a beautiful theorem ([1]) on the cyclic quadrilateral as follows:Theorem 1 (Kostas Vittas, 2006): If ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral with P being the intersection of two diagonals AC and BD, then the four Euler lines of the triangles PAB, PBC, PCD and PDA are concurrent.

The 2 × 2 identity matrix, $${I_2} = left( begin{gathered}{rm{1 ,,,0}} hfill {rm{0 ,,,1}} hfill end{gathered} right)$$, has an infinite number of square roots. The purpose of this paper is to show some interesting patterns that appear among these square roots. In the process, we will take a brief tour of some topics in number theory, including Pythagorean triples, Eisenstein triples, Fibonacci numbers, Pell numbers and Diophantine triples.

Euler’s polynomial f (n) = n2 + n + 41 is famous for producing 40 different prime numbers when the consecutive values 0, 1, …, 39 are substituted: see Table 1. Some authors, including Euler, prefer the polynomial f (n − 1) = n2 − n + 41 with prime values for n = 1, …, 40. Since f (−n) = f (n − 1), f (n) actually takes prime values (with each value repeated once) for n = −40, −39, …, 39; equivalently the polynomial f (n − 40) = n2 − 79n + 1601 takes (repeated) prime values for n = 0, 1, …, 79.
欧拉的多项式 f (n) = n2 + n + 41 以连续替换 0、1、...、39 的值时产生 40 个不同的质数而闻名：见表 1。包括欧拉在内的一些学者更倾向于使用多项式 f (n - 1) = n2 - n + 41，其中 n = 1, ..., 40 为质数。由于 f (-n) = f (n - 1)，f (n) 在 n = -40，-39，...，39 时实际上取质数值（每个值重复一次）；等价多项式 f (n - 40) = n2 - 79n + 1601 在 n = 0，1，...，79 时取（重复）质数值。
