Looks like those two girls just earned full rides in what ever university they decide to go to.

Well done Ladies...Keep it going!

I hears this earlier on WWL. The pythagorem theorm is not really advanced mathematics. It's simple algebra.
I've got friends that work offshore. Building a level wall on a floating platform is impossible with a common
level. You measure the foot at 6 feet and the heigth of the door at 8 ft. 6 squared = 36. 8 squared =64.
36+ 64 =100 The square root of 100 is 10. The stabilizing cross member has to be 10 feet.


The above said, proving it scientifically make me tip my cap to these young women

They say they have proof but haven't actually submitted a paper yet.

The Guardian goes into more detail. It looks like they are basing it on the Law of Sines somehow.

US teens say they have new proof for 2,000-year-old mathematical theorem

New Orleans students Calcea Johnson and Ne’Kiya Jackson recently presented their findings on the Pythagorean theorem

And the ones that didn't admit them are probably slapping themselves right now.

Those tests are culturally biased. The only universal part is the math.

Math is the only subject this is not culturally biased. Spoken so well by Laurence Fishburn in Boys in the Hood

It’s not algebra. It’s geometry.

Pythagoras came up with the theorm 2000 years ago. Since then it has been proven correct by using abstraction. These 2 young women were able to prove it using trigonometry. Something no one has been able to do in 2000 years.

Amen Bro. I starting struggling at calc 2. I'm not bragging, but i',m pretty good in math. Trig is a breeze.
These young girls are heroes in my humble opinion

Calc 2 and above is Eienstien and above in inteligence level. I've never claimed will I be there. I will claim Math
is the true test of a persons IQ

Pfft. Calc 2 isn't even the beginning. Things get really weird when you start getting into satellite math and Fourier transforms and such.

The truth is that a lot of these discoveries occur at a young age…before one gets fixed into the way math should work. Great job!

I had to take abstract math for comp sci. To this day I don't know what I learned and I finished near the top of those classes. I later learned about Ramanujan and his equations, just looking at them gave me a headache

I remember damn near revolting when UNO wouldn't let me take calculus (took it in high school; 31 math ACT)... These days I don't even remember my days in college algebra.
