Abstract

The purpose of this research paper is to gain a deeper understanding of a famous unsolved mathematical problem known as the Prouhet-Terry-Escott Problem. The Prouhet-Terry-Escott Problem is a complex problem that still has much to be discovered. This fascinating problem shows up in many areas of mathematics such as the study of polynomials, graph theory, and the theory of integral quadratic forms.
