Problem Statement:
A Pythagorean triplet is a set of three natural numbers, \f$a < b < c\f$,
for which, \f$a^2 + b^2 = c^2\f$. For example, \f$3^2 + 4^2 = 9 + 16 = 25 =
5^2\f$. There exists exactly one Pythagorean triplet for which \f$a + b + c =
1000\f$. Find the product abc.
Given \f$a^2 + b^2 = c^2\f$ and \f$a+b+c = n\f$, we can write:
\f{eqnarray*}{
b &=& \frac{n^2 - 2an}{2n - 2a}\\
c &=& n - a - b
\f}
