Girls DO love math! They also love getting paid for it. Solving a $500 bonus question on a 2022 high school math contest, Louisiana students Calcea Johnson and Ne’Kiya Jackson were the first to prove the 2,500-year-old Pythagorean Theorem using the trigonometric Law of Sines.
Now freshmen at Louisiana State University and Xavier University, the pair have published a peer-reviewed paper in The American Mathematical Monthly, proving their Law of Sines method and adding nine more proofs to their original discovery.
Johnson and Jackson identified and separated two different ways to prove trigonometric terms, enabling them to eliminate circular reasoning from existing proofs. Look out, trig is going to start making sense now!

“New Shepard’s 24th Mission Will Carry 33 Science Payloads to Space
New Shepard will fly its 24th mission on Monday, December 18. The manifest includes 33 payloads and 38,000 Club for the Future postcards from students around the world.

The NS-24 launch window opens at 8:30 AM CST / 14:30 UTC from Launch Site One in West Texas. The webcast starts at T-20 minutes on BlueOrigin.com.

This mission will bring the number of payloads flown to space on New Shepard to more than 150. More than half of the payloads on this flight are developed and flown with support from NASA. Others come from K-12 schools, universities, and STEAM-focused organizations.

This is New Shepard’s 24th flight and 13th payload mission. The program has also completed six astronaut missions and flown 31 humans above the Kármán line. From an environmental standpoint, nearly 99% of New Shepard’s dry mass is reused, including the booster, capsule, engine, landing gear, and parachutes. New Shepard’s engine is fueled by highly efficient liquid oxygen and hydrogen. During flight, the only byproduct is water v***r with no carbon emissions.
