A mathematical equation was considered impossible to solve until two Louisiana high school students proved that wasn't the case. Now, the young women will be making an appearance on CBS 60 Minutes to ...

Last year in March, Johnson and Jackson gave a presentation at the American Mathematical Society's Annual Southeastern Conference. What they were able to do is find a way to prove the Pythagorean ...

Many students participating in pro-Palestinian demonstrations fear their involvement might affect their plans for after ...

Most trigonometry students look at triangles on a flat surface. However, people from ancient astronomers to modern navigators calculated the arc lengths and angles of triangles on a sphere. They used ...

The Pythagorean Theorem—discovered by the Greek mathematician Pythagoras in the 6th century BCE—is a cornerstone of ...

Which AP tests stump students the most? Numerade used data from the College Board to identify the 10 AP courses with the ...

The sides of right-angled triangles are labelled opposite, hypotenuse and adjacent. Trigonometry explores the relationship between sides and angles in right-angled triangles. The hypotenuse is the ...

The three sides of a right-angled triangle have specific names. The hypotenuse (\(h\)) is the longest side. It is opposite the right angle. The opposite side (\(o\)) is opposite the angle in ...

But these challenges appeared to baffle Yousaf, who responded to each by tipping his head to the side and offering a confused look, like a German Shepherd trying to do trigonometry. ‘This is ...

Proponents say students are more motivated to study data science than algebra. But this approach fails to teach kids ...

Jo Boaler, a professor of Math Education at Stanford, quoted a study that found only 12% of professionals use algebra, trigonometry or calculus regularly and only 2% use calculus. Indeed ...
