Quadratic Diophantine Equations
The Pythagorean Theorem is one of the most famous quadratic diophantine equations, which are equations with squared variables solved over the integers. How many solutions can you find?
\[ \large \color{blue}{x}^2-\color{red}{y}^2=2011\]
How many integral solutions \((\color{blue}{x},\color{red}{y})\) are there for the equation above?
