IT is unfortunate that F. P. Wolfkehl's legacy of a prize for settling the vexed question of “Fermat's Last Theorem” should have stimulated such a large erroneous mathematical literature. Most of the ...

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 ...

The project is currently being led by Kevin Buzzard. Until September 2029 it is being funded by grant EP/Y022904/1, awarded by the EPSRC. The project is hosted at Imperial College London. Kevin would ...

The Pythagoras’ theorem in 1D is governed by lines, while in 2D by squares (see picture below). Just like squares appear naturally when transforming the Pythagoras’ theorem from 1D to 2D, octahedrons ...

A University of Tartu student has come up with a new proof of the Pythagorean theorem using origami. While folding paper is already used — even in basic school — to demonstrate the well-known ...

DeepSeek AI has announced the release of DeepSeek-Prover-V2, a groundbreaking open-source large language model specifically designed for formal theorem proving within the Lean 4 environment. This ...

The Central Board of Secondary Education, CBSE will conduct class 10 Mathematics exam on Monday, March 10. Students who will be appearing in exam can check the last-minute tips and tricks to secure ...

For over 2,000 years, mathematicians believed a purely trigonometric proof of Pythagoras’ theorem was impossible. But two high school students from Louisiana may have just changed that. Their ...

Last year GNN reported on two Louisiana high schoolers who used trigonometry to properly demonstrate Pythagoras’ Theorum, a mathematical concept that remained unsolved for more than 2,000 years.
