#pythagoreantheorem — Public Fediverse posts

#Pythagoras didn't discover the #PythagoreanTheorem. Publishers of English math books know this and won't correct it. Oh, and Christopher Columbus discovered America. #Osiris3 #Isis4 #Horus5 = 🜂 #Triad

🦈 Ah, yes, because nothing screams mathematical rigor like a lasagna-loving #cartoon #cat explaining the Pythagorean Theorem. 🙄 Please set your #useragent, respect our robot policy, and remember: when in doubt, always consult #Garfield for your Euclidean geometry needs. 🤖🍕

🎌🔢 Look! A math proof so quirky, it only holds up in Japan—because math knows about borders now! 🌏🧮 Meanwhile, New Scientist fumbles to fill your screen with #ads and pop-ups faster than you can say "Pythagorean Theorem." 📈🤦‍♂️

#HighSchool #students who came up with 'impossible' proof of #PythagoreanTheorem discover 9 more solutions to the problem
In a new peer-reviewed study, Ne'Kiya Jackson and Calcea Johnson outlined 10 ways to solve the Pythagorean theorem using #trigonometry, including a proof they discovered in high school.

Old news with a current news twist:

"Two high school students have proved the #Pythagoreantheorem in a way that one early 20th-century mathematician thought was impossible: using #trigonometry.

Calcea Johnson and Ne’Kiya Jackson, both at St. Mary’s Academy in #NewOrleans, announced their achievement last month at an American Mathematical Society meeting."

The twist:

> Stigler's law of eponymy, proposed by University of Chicago statistics professor Stephen Stigler in.. 1980.. that no scientific discovery is named after its original discoverer... the Pythagorean theorem.. known to Babylonian mathematicians befores... Stigler attributed the discovery of Stigler's law to sociologist Robert K. Merton.. Stigler stole credit.. [as] an example of the law..

Teens come up with #trigonometry proof for #PythagoreanTheorem, a problem that stumped #math world for centuries
A #highschool 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.

So, are they going to rename it the Babylonian Theorem? 🤔

@stecks Lastly, (apologies for the overload!) here are some ideas/requests for other people who might be interested:

- some classics: #PythagoreanTheorem , #MandelbrotSet , or #E8

- emoji for when you're thinking hard (maybe the orb from the orb-ponderer meme?)

- emoji for when something you thought was hard was actually easy!
