This is an updated version of a story first published on May 5, 2024. For many high school students returning to class, it may seem like geometry and trigonometry were created by the Greeks as a form ...

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.

Alternate interior angles are pairs of equal angles formed on opposite sides of a transversal, but inside two parallel lines. Angles of elevation and depression are alternate interior angles. That is, ...

Trigonometric ratios are used to find the unknown side or angle of a right-angled triangle. There are three different trigonometric ratios, \(\sin(\theta), \cos(\theta)\), and \(\tan (\theta)\). Each ...

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 ...

Among the world’s legendary mathematicians, such as Leonhard Euler, Carl Gauss, and Carl Jacobi, a common trait is that they were trained by professionals. In stark contrast, Srinivasa Ramanujan (22 ...

THIS work is constructed on the methods of the school of mathematicians who derived their inspiration from the teaching of De Morgan, a school which is represented by many of the most influential of ...

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 ...
