Explore which integers can be written as a^2 + b^2, guided by OEIS A0000008. We’ll connect the arithmetic to lattice geometry and the Gauss circle problem, showing how counting representations links to the distribution of lattice points inside circles. We’ll also touch on related sequences (A0001481 and A0000111) and how modern programming helps visualize and compute the number of representations for large n.
