A zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) is a cryptographic technique that dates back to the 1980s and now offers immense promise in a wide range of practical applications. In simple terms, a zero-knowledge ...

They presented their proof a few months later at the American Mathematical Society in 2023, but it still needed further review. This week, the pair of students, who are now in college, have ...

The two, now college students, have come up with five ways of solving the problem using trigonometry along with a method that reveals five other proofs. One of their proofs was previously ...

When the Biden-Harris administration was pushing its Build Back Better plan in 2021, 17 winners of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences signed a letter supporting the program, arguing ...

Now Jackson and Johnson, who started college last year, have notched another achievement: authoring an academic paper detailing their original proof — plus nine more. Their work published Monday ...

"There are no trigonometric proofs because all the fundamental formulae of trigonometry are themselves based upon the truth of the Pythagorean theorem," mathematician Elisha Loomis had written in 1927 ...

Two years ago, a couple of high school classmates each composed a mathematical marvel, a trigonometric proof of the Pythagorean theorem. Now, they’re unveiling 10 more. For over 2,000 years ...

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. Two ...

Proof assistants like Coq have been instrumental in ensuring the correctness of software by enabling developers to create mathematical proofs to verify their code. However, writing such formal proofs ...

There have been a few high-profile incidences of infidelity in the news of late, from Foo Fighters founder Dave Grohl’s announcement that he had a baby girl with a woman other than his wife and mother ...
