Here we consider sums of squares of consecutive (of order and rank) polygonal numbers. We try to express sums of squares of polygonal numbers of consecutive orders in matrix form. We also try to find the solution of a Diophantine equation \"\"in terms of polygonal numbers. %K Polygonal Numbers %K Sums of Squares %K Triangular Numbers %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=65099
