Mathematical Autobiographical Ping!.................

I need to see some proof.

[Chickensoup]

Didn’t mention what high-school they attended or what colleges they now attend

[Williams]

“Draw your own conclusions as to whether the hostility had anything to do with the fact that Jackson and Johnson are Black women.”

And here I was glad they were black women.

Earth to liberals: You cannot post anything on the Internet without getting hostility.

[BipolarBob]

So, you want proof of the proof.

[citizen]

Used AI?

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Bingo. Show me the proof of the proof if it’s been proven!

[xoxox]

yeah. sure they did.

[PhiloBedo]

For me, the author lost all credibility and cast some doubt where he used the term “Black women”. The color of their skin has nothing to do with their achievement, and belittles what they’ve done.

[Leaning Right]

My cat has been investigating the Pythagorean Theorem from a more practical point of view.

Nothing worth publishing so far.

[abigkahuna]

Well, the proof is in the pudding—so to speak. They look young so perhaps their young minds were able to think outside the box for their theorums.

[dayglored]

Good for them! I like to see encouragement in the STEM areas, and Mathematics often takes a back seat to the others because it's viewed as more esoteric and theoretical.

Maybe there's some hope for the next generation. A few teenagers like these are a drop in a large bucket, but a very valuable and worthy drop.

[glennaro]

To Democrat/Communists, everything is about race ... which means they're racist.

Anyway, this is quite an accomplishment for these women.

[Qwapisking]

there should be proof of the proof that there’s proof otherwise proving there is proof will only prove to be a problem for those who’s proof is provable but not probable beyond the proof required to prove it’s provable. I could be proved wrong if it were possible to prove that the proof is provable beyond the proof needed to prove the proof is provable...but I’m waiting for a more provable proof that proves the proof is provable. but that’s just me.

[Robert DeLong]

Kudos to the two bright young ladies.

[SkyDancer]

Try squaring a triangle.

>> Draw your own conclusions as to whether the hostility had anything to do with the fact that Jackson and Johnson are Black women.

“are Black women” — Inconsequential.

>> Teenagers Publish Trigonometric Proof Of Pythagoras’ Theorem Once Considered Impossible

“Once Considered Impossible” — I find this hard to believe unless it’s a matter of more than 400 years ago.

[maddog55]

Awesome... Good on em

[Savage Beast]

"Draw your own conclusions as to whether the hostility had anything to do with the fact that Jackson and Johnson are Black women."

Okay. Here's the conclusion: Hell no!

These high school students deserve awe and praise.

I'm impressed.
