+\subsection{Exercises}
+\begin{frame}{Problem set 3: Problem 3.1}
+  Write a function to return the gcd of two numbers.
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}{Problem 3.2}
+Write a program to print all primitive pythagorean triads (a, b, c) where a, b are in the range 1---100 \\
+A pythagorean triad $(a,b,c)$ has the property $a^2 + b^2 = c^2$.\\By primitive we mean triads that do not `depend' on others. For example, (4,3,5) is a variant of (3,4,5) and hence is not primitive. And (10,24,26) is easily derived from (5,12,13) and is also not primitive.
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}{Problem 3.3}
+  Write a program that generates a list of all four digit numbers that have all their digits even and are perfect squares.\newline\\\emph{For example, the output should include 6400 but not 8100 (one digit is odd) or 4248 (not a perfect square).}
