Great story to start the week:

Teens come up with trigonometry proof for Pythagorean Theorem, a problem that stumped math world for centuries

A high school teacher didn't expect a solution when she set a 2,000-year-old Pythagorean Theorem problem in front of her students. Then Calcea Johnson and Ne'Kiya Jackson stepped up to the challenge.

Wow

love this, thanks for sharing!

Here’s a video explaining their new proof. It’s very cool. youtu.be/p6j2nZKwf20?...

Pythagoras Would Be Proud: High School Students' New Proof of the Pythagorean Theorem [TRIGONOMETRY]

Calcea Johnson and Ne’Kiya Jackson are two high school students at St. Mary's Academy in New Orleans who recently presented a new proof of the Pythagorean th...

The "Waffle Cone" proof is utter genius. "We'll use trigonometry, but let's use an infinite series of triangles with a finite limit..."

I remember the beginning of this story from last year and it just fills me with joy!

I'm impressed with the teens, but also their school. That school is amazing.

Smart, determined kids. Good for them.

Love it! So glad to hear about this amazing school and amazing students. Thanks Laura.

Not getting the either/or in the journalists opening statement. However great the school is, the young ladies are also mathematical geniuses. Credit to them. Credit to their outstanding school.
