Ryan Morgan has gotten used to sharing trade secrets with older and wiser mathematicians. So, the Patapsco High School junior was unfazed yesterday when he explained his findings — widely considered a ...
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 ...
A mathematician will turn a groundbreaking 100-page proof into computer code. The proof tool, Lean, lets users turn proofs written in prose into rules and logic for testing. Kevin Buzzard already uses ...
In a new peer-reviewed study, Ne'Kiya Jackson and Calcea Johnson outlined 10 ways to solve the Pythagorean theorem using trigonometry, including a proof they discovered in high school. When you ...
