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 ...

New Orleans math whizzes Calcea Johnson and Ne'Kiya Jackson were recognized during Essence Festival — and gifted new tech by AT&T’s Dream in Black initiative Janine Rubenstein is Editor-at-Large at ...

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 textbook uses examples from Indian monuments and cultural contexts to explain key concepts of the subject, including ...

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 ...

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 ...

Later attempts found that instead of 2, better results can be found with exponents of 1.82. The formula can be used in different sports, as well—using an exponent of 14 (or 16.5) for basketball, and 2 ...

The Pythagorean theorem stands as one of mathematics' most enduring and practical principles. Named after the ancient Greek mathematician Pythagoras, this fundamental concept has guided engineers, ...
