The Futurama Theorem serves as a playful introduction to this field, illustrating how abstract mathematical ideas can have surprisingly practical applications — at least if you’re swapping minds.

The Pythagorean Theorem, a cornerstone of geometry, empowers students to solve right triangle problems and unlock advanced ...

The Pythagorean Theorem—discovered by the Greek mathematician Pythagoras in the 6th century BCE—is a cornerstone of mathematics. Simply stated as a 2 + b 2 = c 2, the theorem posits that the ...

Pythagoras’ theorem — a 2 + b 2 = c 2, relating the length of a right triangle’s hypotenuse to those of its other two sides — has been proven many times with algebra and geometry (SN: 4/2/03).

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.
