August 15, 2017 (8/15/17) was Pythagorean Theorem Day (see I missed Pythagorean Theorem Day). I was not even aware that there was such a day until this year, but it brought to my attention some really ...

The Pythagorean theorem, a cornerstone of mathematics for millennia, provides a method for determining unknown sides in right-angled triangles using the formula a² + b² = c². Its applications extend ...

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 ...

Ne'Kiya Jackson and Calcea Johnson from Louisiana blew the math community away when they presented a solution to the Pythagorean theorem using trigonometry, an impossible feat for 2,000 years. They ...

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 ...

the Pythagorean theorem. Keith McNulty, an expert in applied mathematics, said: 'It's a wonderful demonstration that excellence in a field of research is achievable by anyone with joy and passion, ...

The famous ancient site at Stonehenge may have been built using Greek philosopher Pythagoras’ famous theorem two millennia before the mathematical equation was developed, experts say. A new book ...

Two US high schoolers believe they have cracked a mathematical mystery left unproven for centuries. Calcea Johnson and Ne'Kiya Jackson looked at the Pythagorean theorem, foundational to trigonometry.

NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) – Two students at a school in New Orleans have presented evidence of a mathematical discovery that scholars have been trying to prove for 2,000 years. School officials at St. Mary’s ...
