The Pythagorean Theorem—discovered by the Greek mathematician Pythagoras in the 6th century BCE—is a cornerstone of mathematics. Simply stated as a 2 + b 2 = c 2, the theorem posits that the sum of ...

Two New Orleans students who solved the Pythagorean theorem using trigonometry have had their discovery confirmed by the math community after their findings were published in the American Mathematical ...

In a new peer-reviewed study, Ne'Kiya Jackson and Calcea Johnson outlined 10 ways to solve the Pythagorean theorem using trigonometry, including a proof they discovered in high school. When you ...

Two high school seniors have presented their proof of the Pythagorean theorem using trigonometry — which mathematicians thought to be impossible — at an American Mathematical Society meeting. When you ...

" Pythagorean theorem (Mikigata's Theorem)" was discovered by Pitagoras, an ancient Greek mathematician born in 570 BC, but the builder of the British ruins " Stonehenge" was more than 2000 years of ...

You might think that once a theorem has been proved that would be the end of it. I mean, is there possibly any value in having another proof of something? A new proof certainly doesn't make a theorem ...

In 2022, Ne'Kiya Jackson and Calcea Johnson were able to prove that trigonometry can prove the theorem. Two Black students continue to showcase their prowess in math. The young women from Louisiana ...
