What began as a bonus question in a high school math contest has resulted in a staggering 10 new ways to prove the ancient mathematical rule of Pythagoras' theorem. "There are no trigonometric proofs ...

A simple, step-by-step breakdown of two “perfect” math proofs. But which prime number is p? It must be on our list of primes, because our list is complete. But it also can’t be on our list of primes, ...

A University of Tartu student has come up with a new proof of the Pythagorean theorem using origami. While folding paper is already used — even in basic school — to demonstrate the well-known ...
