Squaring the circle has a history of failed attempts dating back at least to the ancient Greeks. And in 1882, French mathematician Carl Louis Ferdinand von Lindemann proved that pi is transcendental, ...

But two US high school classmates, Ne'Kiya Jackson and Calcea Johnson, achieved the 'impossible' during their final year of ...

A high school 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.

Teen mathematicians Ne’Kiya Jackson (left) and Calcea Johnson (right) who have done what mathematics texts said was impossible, finding a non-circular trigonometric proof of Pythagoras Theorem ...

An age-old problem known as squaring the circle stumped mathematicians for more than 2,000 years. During that time, professionals and amateurs alike unknowingly published thousands of false proofs ...

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.

THE only difference we have been able to detect between this edition and its predecessor are that the last lines of pp. 34 to 38 of the first edition are the first lines of pp. 35 to 39 of tne ...
