NAME

       matho-sumsq - Find the minimum sum of the squares for integers

SYNOPSIS

       matho-sumsq [numbers]

DESCRIPTION

       This  command-line  utility is optionally part of the mathomatic(1) package.  It finds the minimum number
       of positive integers that when squared and added together, equal the given number.  There is a proof that
       no more than 4 squares summed together are required to represent any positive integer.

       The  command-line  may  contain  positive integers to find the minimum squares of, they must be less than
       2147483648 (2^31) on 32-bit systems or less than 9223372036854775808 (2^63) on 64-bit systems.  If "+" is
       appended  to  the  given  number,  the program counts up from the given number.  If the minimum number of
       squares is 2, this program displays all possible combinations  with  2  squares  for  the  given  number,
       otherwise it just displays the first combination it finds.

       If no command-line arguments are given, the programs reads the numbers from standard input.
