From such assumptions Euclid went on to show, for example, that there are infinitely many prime numbers, and that the angles at the base of an isosceles triangle are equal.

Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is one of the most promising applications of biomagnetics. In order to expand and establish MEG applications, an evaluation standard for MEG systems is necessary. We have ...

For the next few weeks, the planet Mars will form an almost perfect isosceles triangle with the two bright stars marking the heads of the Gemini Twins, Pollux and Castor.

What began as a bonus question in a high school math contest has resulted in a staggering 10 new ways to prove the ancient mathematical rule of Pythagoras' theorem.

It then details the original proof presented at the conference, which applies to all non-isosceles right-angled triangles, and adds four others also made using trigonometry.

Each proof uses different geometric constructions and trigonometric relationships to demonstrate that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of squares of the other two sides ...

Mathematicians are “reinventing the wheel” by giving it a new shape. Their newly imagined wheel looks like a many-dimensional guitar pick, and it could theoretically roll in ways beyond our ...

The famed proof of irrational numbers presented by Hippasus—or another Pythagorean—is most easily illustrated with an isosceles right triangle: consider a triangle with two sides, each of ...

Journalist Tony Harris is on the Florida coast investigating some of the strange underwater anomalies discovered at the Bermuda Triangle. Tony and a team of experts analyse evidence of similar ...
