| Jul 5, 2021 at 14:03 | comment | added | pupshaw | hardly historical, but observing that this problem is equivalent to finding integral points on an elliptic curve of rank 1, it would be surprising if any decent general methods were available at that time for problems like this one. now a little curious how the more elementary methods might translate into contemporary geometric language. lmfdb.org/EllipticCurve/Q/1728/o/3 | |
