And here I am at 46 and I can’t help my daughter with her middle school math homework.
It also doesn’t help that they changed math and you now need an entire sheet of paper for each problem.
It’s horrifying, seeing all the things you’ve forgotten laid out in front of you day after day!
Stumped? This [theorem]https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_theorem) is a contender for most different proofs.
Link didn’t format correctly. Need an open parenthesis in front of the https.
Very relevant, in combination with the click bait title.
So so so so many ads in that page that I genuinely lost the article in the middle, that’s a first.
Why aren’t you using an ad block?
I didn’t see a single ad, I’m using this:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/?utm_source=addons.mozilla.org&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=searchWill that work on my pixelgooglephone?
Yes just install Firefox and the ublock addon.
Not to beat the point to death, but I’m using FF and UBO on a stock Pixel 7a. I’m browsing Lemmy using Sync, which means i need to purposefully open the link in Firefox, or it uses the Sync built in browser
Yes, Mozilla has had a browser on android for a while now. It also has many of the same privacy addons as the PC version
I love when pages or websites have so much bloat, ads and bs that it’s actually a huge effort to try and use their site, but then if you use an adblocker to actually be able to use their site, you get notices like OHH NOO YOU ARE USING AN ADBLOCK WE ARE SO SAD PLEASE DISABLE AND HELP US PAY FOR INDEPENDENT JOURNALISM yadayada… lol please. Hypocrites. If good marketing is all about removing user friction, I don’t understand why they add this much friction as ads and spam.
This happened a while ago, and even more uplifting is Ne’Kiya Jackson got into college by doing this!
How is a trig proof different than algebra or geometry proof? I’m good with numbers, but I sucked at proofs.
Trig requires some assumptions and special tools, like SOHCAHTOA and what not that don’t really exist in standard algebra.
It’s a mathematical proof, but it’s using trig inside the proof.
If you ever want a fun rabbit hole of mathematicians losing their minds, they had a massive existential crisis about calculus with “What if all of calculus is wrong!?!”, and the subsequent proof developed is one of those things that took years and likely involved a lot of amphetamines.
That’s one smart cookie
It’s insane that her first thought, in response to the question of why people were surprised, was the color of her skin, followed by her gender, and only then did she mention the thing that was probably the first thing everyone else thought of: her age.
Regardless, very impressive indeed.
Why did people find your amazing mathematical achievement amazing? Racism. Sexism… Oh yeah, also because we’re young. So not because it’s cool, it’s hard and it’s amazing? Nope, just because we happen to be black girls in school, and did this in America…
Such sadness man. Even the bit about people saying African Americans don’t have the brains for it or something. Wow, it’s sad.
