Extract

In their book Mathematical Models (second edition, 1960), Cundy and Rollett describe a dissection model to illustrate the result

It is the purpose of this note to describe similar models for the equalities

and

In addition, a dissection for the sum of the cubes of the first n integers is discussed.
