Two students who discovered a novel proof of the Pythagorean theorem in 2022 have wowed the math community again with nine completely new solutions to the problem.
While still in high school, Ne'Kiya Jackson and Calcea Johnson from Louisiana used trigonometry to prove the 2,000-year-old Pythagorean theorem, which states that the sum of the squares of a right triangle's two shorter sides are equal to the square of the triangle's longest side (the hypotenuse).
Mathematicians had long thought that using trigonometry to prove the theorem was unworkable, given that the fundamental formulas for trigonometry are based on the assumption that the theorem is true.
Jackson and Johnson came up with their "impossible" proof in answer to a bonus question in a school math contest.
They presented their work at an American Mathematical Society meeting in 2023, but the proof hadn't been thoroughly scrutinized at that point.
Now, a new paper published Monday (Oct. 28) in the journal American Mathematical Monthly shows their solution held up to peer review.
Not only that, but the two students also outlined nine more proofs of the Pythagorean theorem using trigonometry.

I'll believe it when it actually is in service. But at that pace I'll be dead.
"A source close to the file said the bidding consortia warned Ottawa that ridership would be lower with a high-frequency train than with a high-speed one, since customers are looking for the shortest possible trip."
So they paid somebody to tell them that? Maybe I should become Govt Consultant and make the big bucks here. I could have told them.

Can you believe that a GitHub issue I opened six years ago in the depths of āthe long dark tea-time of the soulā has had such a cascading impact?
It has ultimately led to the formation of a dedicated accessibility team for @django
This is a moment that truly highlights the power of open source and everything it represents.
I'm so grateful for this community š

For me personally ā this was a definite inflection point in my career, as I started investing way more into accessibility expertise. For Wagtail, we followed this with a project for a large govt agency to do even more testing and improvements of the CMS admin. Then got our accessibility team started. Then the accessibility team for @django. An #ATAG audit for Wagtail. Yearly reporting on our accessibility. Thereās a long way to go but the journeyās been great already š
Proud to be a part of driving positive change in the accessibility for @wagtail!
Huge thanks to @thibaudcolas and the team for your unwavering commitment and sense of responsibility. It makes all the difference.

Making Wagtail Accessible for users with disabilities Ā· Issue #4199 Ā· wagtail/wagtail
Hello everyone, After reading the docs, I've decided to use Wagtail on one of my personal projects. Since I'm blind, I've discovered that my experience on editing content would be rather unpleasant...GitHub
That is amazing, Musharraf! The accessibility teams cannot do good work without the input of disabled users. You being a programmer is even better because you know how code works.
We sadly have a long way to go in Django core as well, but I hope you can enjoy our platforms for a long time, and that your experience improves.
