" 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

For centuries, the Pythagorean Theorem has occupied a unique position in mathematics: both elementary and profound. Its equation, a² + b² = c², is taught early and used widely, yet its implications ...

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.

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 ...

The high schoolers presented their theory at a national mathematics conference. Two Black teenage girls from New Orleans say they could be the first mathematicians in at least 2,000 years to find ...

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 ...

Calcea Rujean Johnson and Ne’Kiya Jackson’s achievement was not the first time trigonometry has been used to prove the theorem Compelling evidence supports the claims of two New Orleans high school ...

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 ...
