Philosophical Transactions: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, Vol. 377, No. 2140, Theme issue: The notion of ‘simple proof’ - Hilbert’s 24th problem (11 March 2019), pp. 1-11 (11 pages) ...

I have very fond memories of high school geometry. Memorizing theorems wasn't too hard, and solving proofs was like solving the logic puzzles that I did for fun anyway. But the theorems were scattered ...

What began as a bonus question in a high school math contest has resulted in a staggering 10 new ways to prove the ancient mathematical rule of Pythagoras' theorem. "There are no trigonometric proofs ...

A University of Tartu student has come up with a new proof of the Pythagorean theorem using origami. While folding paper is already used — even in basic school — to demonstrate the well-known ...

IN many respects an excellent little book, in which blank pages are left for the pupil to insert his own proofs of the simpler propositions which are treated as riders. It is not in accordance with ...

In an astonishing breakthrough, two young students from Louisiana have done what many thought was impossible: proving Pythagoras’ theorem using only trigonometry. Their discovery has rocked the world ...

IT is unfortunate that F. P. Wolfkehl's legacy of a prize for settling the vexed question of “Fermat's Last Theorem” should have stimulated such a large erroneous mathematical literature. Most of the ...

Pythagoras Theorem: The Pythagoras Theorem is a fundamental principle in geometry, attributed to the ancient Greek mathematician Pythagoras. This theorem establishes a relationship between the sides ...

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 ...

When a top-tier mathematician announced in August that he had proved one of the greatest problems in mathematics, the claim was trumpeted in the New York Times, Nature, Science and the Boston Globe.
