Arno Fehringer, Gymnasiallehrer Für Mathematik Und Physik

The document contains three sections that describe formulas for square numbers, rectangle numbers, and triangle numbers. For square numbers, the nth term is the sum of odd integers from 1 to 2n-1, which equals n2. For rectangle numbers, the nth term is the sum of even integers from 2 to 2n, which equals n(n+1). For triangle numbers, the nth term is the sum of all integers from 1 to n, which equals 0.5*n(n+1).
