de Bruijn's theorem
Quizzes for review
(mathematics) A theorem about packing congruent rectangular bricks into larger rectangular boxes so that no space is left over. It states that a harmonic brick
(one in which each side length is a multiple of the next smaller side length) can only be packed into a box whose dimensions are multiples of the brick's dimensions.
de Bruijn's theorem
In the lecture, the mathematician demonstrated de Bruijn's theorem by packing harmonic bricks into a larger rectangular box to show that such a packing is possible only when the box's dimensions are integer multiples of the bricks'.
