Two high school seniors from New Orleans think they have managed to prove a 2,000-year-old theorem that has stumped mathematicians for centuries.
Their work got Calcea Johnson and Ne'Kiya Jackson far enough to present their findings to researchers.
Their work was on the Pythagorean theorem, a staple of high school math lessons which defines the relationship between the three sides of a right-angled triangle, expressed with the formula a2+b2=c2. https://www.insider.com/us-teens-claim-to-have-proved-pythagorean-theorem-thought-impossible-2023-3
