Cannonball problem: Applications, Formulation as a Diophantine equation & Solution

In the mathematics of figurate numbers, the cannonball problem asks which numbers are both square and square pyramidal. The problem can be stated as: given a square arrangement of cannonballs, for what size squares can these cannonballs also be arranged into a square pyramid? Equivalently, which squares can be represented as the sum of consecutive…
