NEW ORLEANS — A high school math contest has turned into a history-making event thanks to a pair of young girls. These two teenage math stars have developed five new proofs of the Pythagorean theorem, ...
One of their proofs was previously presented at a conference and their new solutions were published Monday in the journal American Mathematical Monthly. They started studying the math problem as ...
authoring an academic paper detailing their original proof — plus nine more. Their work published Monday in the scientific journal American Mathematical Monthly. “I’m so surprised that we ...
So, when Ne’Kiya Jackson and Calcea Johnson came up with a solution, it sent shockwaves through the math world. They presented their proof a few months later at the American Mathematical Society ...
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.
