Two Sisters From New Orleans Say They Have Proven The Pythagoras’s Theorem By Using Trigonometry.


Two New Orleans high school seniors who say they have proven Pythagoras’s theorem by using trigonometry – which academics for two millennia have thought to be impossible – are being encouraged by a prominent US mathematical research organization to submit their work to a peer-reviewed journal.
Calcea Johnson and Ne’Kiya Jackson, who are students of St Mary’s Academy, recently gave a presentation of their findings at the American Mathematical Society south-eastern chapter’s semi-annual meeting in Georgia.
They were reportedly the only two high schoolers to give presentations at the meeting attended by math researchers from institutions including the universities of Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana State, Ohio State, Oklahoma and Texas Tech. And they spoke about how they had discovered a new proof for the Pythagorean theorem.

Auto Loan Debt Hits Crisis Levels As Americans Drown In Car Payments

Americans are finding themselves in a deeper financial hole than ever before when it comes to auto loans.

According to recent data from Edmunds, a rising number of car owners owe more on their car than the vehicle’s worth, termed “negative equity.” Even more troubling, the average balance owners have left to pay on their loans hit an all-time high in the third quarter of this year. Experts say it's an alarming trend for overall consumer health.

Physical Or Digital Books?

I ask the question of physical or digital because I want to know whether you like your books physical (meaning you can hold them in your hands) or digital (meaning you can access them from some electronic device). There are pros and cons to each, and each person has his/her own reasons for their decision.

For me, I initially like digital books. The reason is that I can get them free or cheap. However, if I like a book, then I will definitely order it in physical form (if available) so I can have it for later use.
