New computer tools have the potential to revolutionize the practice of mathematics by providing more-reliable proofs of mathematical results than have ever been possible in the history of humankind.

In 2022, two high school students created a trigonometric proof of the Pythagorean Theorem—something that’s only ever been accomplished by a few professional mathematicians. Now, a new article not ...

As high school students, Calcea Johnson and Ne’Kiya Jackson worked to find valid new proof for the 2,000-year-old theorem Two college freshmen who, during their final year of high school, found a new ...

It is important to remember other angles rules, such as angles on a straight line add up to 180°, and to recognise angles in parallel lines. Make sure you are confident in applying Pythagoras’ theorem ...

Calcea Rujean Johnson and Ne’Kiya Jackson’s achievement was not the first time trigonometry has been used to prove the theorem Compelling evidence supports the claims of two New Orleans high school ...

You don’t need a human brain to do maths — even artificial intelligence can write airtight proofs of mathematical theorems. An AI created by a team at Google has proven more than 1200 mathematical ...
