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 ...

This is an updated version of a story first published on May 5, 2024. For many high school students returning to class, it may seem like geometry and trigonometry were created by the Greeks as a form ...

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 ...

Two US college students, who discovered a new way to prove Pythagoras' famous 2,000-year-old theorem in 2022 have now come up with five different ways of solving the problem using trigonometry. Their ...

Two young mathematicians, Calcea Johnson and Ne'Kiya Jackson, made headlines with a groundbreaking discovery in mathematics. In 2022, as high school students, they found a new approach to proving ...

Formulae for ζ(2n) and Lχ4 (2n + 1) involving Euler and tangent numbers are derived using the hyperbolic secant probability distribution and its moment generating function. In particular, the Basel ...

General number-theoretic identities which involve various multiplications are given. The Tatuzawa-Iseki identity which occurs in certain elementary proofs of the Prime Number Theorem is included as a ...
