Designing strategies for playing Factor Monster Games

This eBook also contains much ado about sequences, series and sums of consecutive natural numbers (triangular numbers).

Our friend Elucidatus Quadraticus demonstrates how to:

Derive the formula 1 + 2 + 3 + . . . + n = n(n + 1)/2.
Prove that the formula 1 + 2 + 3 + . . . + n = n(n + 1)/2 is true.
Determine if a natural number is or is not the sum of consecutive natural numbers (a triangular number).
Solve quadratic equations in various ways, including factoring and using the quadratic formula.
