Question about number of perfect squares between two perfect cubes
$begingroup$
Prove that for a natural number $k≥2$ , there are a minimum of two perfect squares in the interval $(k^3,(k+1)^3)$
I tried induction , supposing that there are $m^2<n^2$ in the interval , and to prove that there exists two perfect squares $q^2<r^2$ in $((k+1)^3,(k+2)^3))$.

As a hint to get started: can you prove that there is at least one perfect square in the interval?

Yes , I think it's $([sqrt{k^3}]^2)$

Hint: for $kge 2$, $(k+1)^{3/2}-k^{3/2}=frac{3}{2}sqrt{k}>2$.

So there are at least two integers between $(k+1)^frac{3}{2} - k^frac{3}{2}$ or

Let $m$ be the largest integer such that $m^2le k^3$
$mle k^{frac 32}$
if $k>1$
$4m le 4k^{frac 32} < 3k^2$ and $4<3k+1$
$k^3<(m+1)^2<(m+2)^2 = m^2 + 4m + 4 < k^3 + 3k^2 + 3k + 1 = (k+1)^3$
