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.

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

Mastering degree-radian conversions is crucial for trigonometry and calculus. Radians simplify mathematical formulas, especially in calculus where trigonometric function derivatives rely on radian ...

Trigonometric identities are powerful tools for simplifying complex equations in math and science. Three core groups—reciprocal, quotient, and Pythagorean—form the foundation. Effective strategies ...

Students are barely beginning to recover from a historic decline in math performance. Across every grade and region of the country, students in every racial, income, and disability group have ...

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 ...

NEW ORLEANS — The two women and St. Mary’s Academy graduates who used trigonometry to prove the 2000-year-old Pythagorean Theorem math equation, had their findings confirmed by the math experts after ...

Calcea Johnson (right), currently studying environmental engineering at Louisiana State University, published the new study with her high school classmate, Ne'Kiya Jackson (left), now a student in ...

Ne'Kiya Jackson and Calcea Johnson, have achieved a remarkable feat by proving the Pythagorean theorem using trigonometry, an accomplishment long considered impossible due to circular reasoning. Two ...
