Two years ago, a couple of high school classmates each composed a mathematical marvel, a trigonometric proof of the Pythagorean theorem. Now, they’re unveiling 10 more. For over 2,000 years, such ...

Two teens say they’ve historically solved Pythagoras’ famous theorem by using trigonometry. New Orleans natives Calcea Johnson and Ne’Kiya Jackson, who attend St. Mary’s Academy, presented their ...

Greek philosopher Pythagoras played a crucial role in the birth of mathematics as we know it. He is probably most famous for the Pythagorean Theorem, which says the square of the hypotenuse (the ...

If you’ve ever heard the phrase “the music of the spheres,” your first thought probably wasn’t about mathematics. But in its historical origin, the music of the spheres actually was all about math. In ...

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 ...
