As high school students, Calcea Johnson and Ne’Kiya Jackson worked to find valid new proof for the 2,000-year-old theorem Two college freshmen who, during their final year of high school, found a new ...
In 2022, two high school students created a trigonometric proof of the Pythagorean Theorem—something that’s only ever been accomplished by a few professional mathematicians. Now, a new article not ...
The Pythagorean Theorem—discovered by the Greek mathematician Pythagoras in the 6th century BCE—is a cornerstone of mathematics. Simply stated as a 2 + b 2 = c 2, the theorem posits that the sum of ...
The standard Pythagorean theorem is used on an everyday basis in professions like architecture, building construction, navigation, spaceflight, computer sciences, and more. Calcea Johnson and Ne’Kiya ...
Two high school students proved the Pythagorean theorem in a way that one early 20th-century mathematician thought would be impossible: by using trigonometry. Calcea Johnson and Ne’Kiya Jackson, both ...
