The last remark made by Mr. Burbury points out, indeed, the weakest point of the demonstration of the H-theorem. If condition (A) is fulfilled at t = O, it is not a mechanical necessity that it ...

The Pythagorean Theorem—discovered by the Greek mathematician Pythagoras in the 6th century BCE—is a cornerstone of mathematics. Simply stated as a 2 + b 2 = c 2, the theorem posits that the ...

In 2022, two high school students created a trigonometric proof of the Pythagorean Theorem—something that’s only ever been accomplished by a few professional mathematicians. Now, a new article ...

Perhaps even more surprising, this silly claim with an even sillier name, the “hairy ball theorem,” is a proud discovery from a branch of math called topology. Juvenile humor aside ...

Save guides, add subjects and pick up where you left off with your BBC account. The longest side of a right-angled triangle is the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse is always opposite the right angle.

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 ...
