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 ...

Two years ago, a couple of high school classmates each composed a mathematical marvel, a trigonometric proof of the Pythagorean theorem. Now, they’re unveiling 10 more. For over 2,000 years, such ...

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 ...

The Pythagorean Theorem, a cornerstone of geometry, empowers students to solve right triangle problems and unlock advanced mathematical concepts. Mastering this theorem enhances logical reasoning, ...

Mathematics is distinguished from the sciences by the freedom it enjoys in choosing basic assumptions from which consequences can be deduced by applying the laws of logic. We call the basic ...
