OK. Let’s see it so we can evaluate how much of a breakthrough this actually is...
It’s not like this is advanced binary math or something that complicated.
This is OLD news that was debunked long ago. They didn’t do anything special or unusual that wasn’t done before. If they had been Asian, it would never have even been reported.
The above sentence was in the report, so one has to wonder why the notion that it hasn't been proven seems to counter the claim that it couldn't be proven.
It also says that since their 2023 proof, they have also provided another four such proofs.
So, in some ways one has to wonder why the notion existed that it cannot be proven.
The fact that the proof may not be trigonometric or may not be totally original, does not take away from the accomplishment of these young women. As for the pushback, it is stupid and insipid to chalk it up to racism. When you claim to have made a new mathematical proof, expect the rest of the math world to put you through total scrutiny. Time will tell if the
claim stands up. Media jerkwagons won’t know either way.
Too bad none of the “It’s them again” crowd felt compelled to comment on this terrific, uplifting article. You go, girls!
The proof of the proof could be faked. I would demand proof of the proof of the proof. Or we could take off and nuke the site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
They’re actin’ white, so they’ll be in big trouble if they head to the Ivy League. They should probably aim for Purdue, Texas A&M, or Virginia Tech. Stay out of California and New York at all costs.
60 minutes did a story on these two some time back, here’s the link.
They attended St. Marys HS in New Orleans

badda-bing!
Thought that was the case, thanks.
Kids are from St. Mary’s Academy in New Orleans. Article from 2023.
Love this! Very proud of these young ladies, and impressed with anyone with strong mathematical ability.
Wow, what a terrific 60 minutes profile of the achievement of these girls.
What I was looking for was a taste of how the proof was achieved. And the diagrams shown in the video did that for me.
Thanks for posting, srmanuel.
The message I got is that this St. Mary’s school in New Orleans is producing terrific results. Trump should pick up on this story and amplify it some more.
And a Catholic school to boot!
Pi are not round, Pi r square.
There was some question whether it could be proven with trigonometric methods which is what they did.
Now it’s cheating to simply let a = c*cos(x) and b = c*sin(x) and thereby prove that c^2 = a^2 + b^2.
There was some concern that their proof was just a dressed up version of the above.
Apparently it wasn’t, and the proof stands.
Someone else proved it with trigonometric methods some years ago, so what they did is not earth-shattering but it was insightful.
CONGRATULATIONS, LADIES!
Sure, a great achievement no doubt about it. A good parochial school is an excellent improvement on almost any public school, but various administrations over the years seem to want to drag them down.
And no school vouchers, either!
Those meddling kids!!!
Thank you for thee information you provided, which answered the question I had, and quite clearly I might add. 🙂👍
