  3. Two teenagers have once again proved an ancient math rule.

    From Science News: “Some people have the impression that you have to be in academia for years and years before you can actually produce some new mathematics,” says mathematician Álvaro Lozano-Robledo of the University of Connecticut in Storrs.

  6. Another fascinating Mathologer video, about profound connections between #Fibonacci numbers and #Pythagorean triangles

  7. My #mathematics bar trick is that I can prove the #Pythagorean theorem in 30 seconds.

    That for a right triangle with hypothenuse c it holds that a² + b² = c², where a and b are the two other sides.

    I wonder if the Babylonians, who probably knew the theorem a thousand years before Pythagoras, also used the identity to show off after a drink or two.

    What's your favourite bar trick?

  8. Time for #ProofInAToot! (Well, okay, in two toots.)

    Let's generate #Pythagorean triplets \(a^2 + b^2 = c^2\). Dividing by \(c^2\), this is equivalent to finding rational points on the unit circle, \(x^2 + y^2 = 1\).

    Consider the line of rational slope \(t\) going through \((-1,0)\), which results in the following system:
    \[
    \begin{align*}
    y &= tx + t\\
    x^2 + y^2 &=1
    \end{align*}
    \]
    Its nontrivial solution is
    \[
    \begin{align*}
    x &= \frac{1 - t^2}{1+t^2}\\
    y &= \frac{2t}{1+t^2}.
    \end{align*}
    \]

  9. I just found something interesting about #Pythagorean triples. You can systematically enumerate them in a tree using some magical-looking matrices!

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_of_

    The proof that the matrices work is a boring calculation and gives no insight into how the matrices were derived in the first place. I think I'm going to be reading some papers to figure out where those matrices came from.
