The Pythagorean Theorem is an ancient theory that states that in a right triangle, if the length of the hypotenuse is c, and the lengths of the two sides that sandwich the right angle are a and b, ...

Dat de stelling van Pythagoras klopt zal niemand verbazen. Maar dat een duo Amerikaanse scholieren na duizenden jaren nog met verrassende nieuwe inzichten weet te komen wel. Iedere middelbare scholier ...

Imagine a world where our mathematical truths, the ones we’ve etched into the very foundation of our education, hold secrets that stretch even further back in time than we ever thought possible. Among ...

Pi Day (March 14) is a day of global mathematical celebration, but it’s not the only numerically significant calendar date.

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 ...

Pi Day (3/14) often comes with sweet treats; Square Root Day (4/4/16 or 5/5/25, for example) has a certain numerical rhyme.

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 ...

Stonehenge was built using Pythagoras’ theorem – two millennia before the Greek philosopher was born, say experts. The builders of Britain’s ancient stone circles are said to have used complex ...

You might think that once a theorem has been proved that would be the end of it. I mean, is there possibly any value in having another proof of something? A new proof certainly doesn't make a theorem ...
