>american mathematician Elisha Loomis argued
He was a teacher who did nothing academically noteworthy except compile a book of proofs of the pythagorean theorem. His claim that trigonometric proofs are impossible is based on the belief that the identity sin^2 x + cos^2 x = 1 is impossible to prove without the pythagorean theorem (wrong) and that all trigonometry relies on that identity (also wrong). One paragraph after he makes this claim he cites an existing (in 1914) trigonometric proof.

Law of sines is basically just the area formula for a triangle. IIRC when looking at their proof using the law of sines instead of area actually made it more complicated than it needed to be.

Yeah, it's in the toilet along with Atiyah's proof of the RH and Inter-universal teichmuller theory.

Yes, its a new field of math called niggonometry

Typical clickbait title.
If it's a question, you can just answer it with no.
If it's a statement then it's in some vague sense true, while being distorted (exaggerated, applied to wrong context, etc.).

How is picrel circular logic?
>>
>>16094169
From what I've heard, what they did was fine, a cute proof of Pythagoras' theorem. The sensationalistic reporting around it is what's bullshit. Nope, it's not a "new kind of proof" that has eluded mathematicians for years. Blame the journos, not the kiddos.
>>
>>16102981
That's more of a geometric demonstration rather than an algebraic proof
>>
>>16102988
Exactly, journalists have zero regard for the truth and believe activism matters most, if they see a Black person doing anything positive they feel a need to make it into something much bigger than what it is.

Since it's a generic a^2 and b^2, it's universalizable and thus serves as a proof. It doesn't need to be algebraic, since proofs predate algebra.

Those are the two black students who proved the Pythagoras theorem. Their proof is rather unique in that, unlike any other proof they don't use a circular reasoning.

if you go through the list at cut-the-knot, it really does seem like their proof is different from all of them. The closest is #100, which has the same “waffle cone” look but #100 happens inside the triangle, and the students’ new proof happens outside the triangle. I think #100 is nicer, and I think (but don’t know) that they got the idea from looking at #100. But it does seem to be different from the things on the list.
