a 2 + b 2 = c 2. Remember that from high school math class? That's the Pythagorean theorem, which shows that in a right triangle, where the shorter legs are a and b, the sum of their squares is equal ...
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 ...
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 ...
Calcea Johnson and Ne'Kiya Jackson believe they can prove the Pythagorean Theorem using trigonometry — and are being encouraged to submit their work for peer review Jason Hahn is a former Human ...
If you have taken high school geometry, you have learned about the Pythagorean Theorem (even if you don’t remember it today). The theorem is an essential part of Euclidean geometry, and it goes as ...
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, ...

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 ...
A recent discovery suggests the Pythagorean theorem could be the world's oldest known case of plagiarism. The ancient Greek philosopher, born in 570 BC, is credited for creating the math that helps ...
