We show that a theorem of Leonid B. Shapiro which was proved under MA, is actually independent from ZFC. We also give a direct proof of the Boolean algebra version of the theorem under MA(Cohen).

Three versions of Luca Pacioli's 'De Dvina Proportione' remain: a manuscript held in Milan, another in Geneva and a printed version edited in Venice. A recent book, 'Antologia della Divina Proporzione', has all three in one volume, allowing…

We note that an argument by Rogers (1958) gives a proof of Vaaler's theorem (1979) about sections of the cube and allows certain generalizations of the theorem.

The celebrated theorem of Feuerbach states that the nine-point circle of a nonequilateral triangle is tangent to both its incircle and its three excircles. In this note, we give a simple proof of Feuerbach's Theorem using straightforward…

In this short note, we point out a mistake in G.Cybenko's proof of his version of the universal approximation theorem which has been widely cited. This mistake might not be easily fixable along the idea of his proof and it also leads to an…

It is well known that the strong subadditivity theorem is hold for classical system, but it is very difficult to prove that it is hold for quantum system. The first proof of this theorem is due to Lieb by using the Lieb's theorem. Here we…

We propose two new proofs of the Pythagorean theorem via area rearrangement arguments starting from very simple geometric configurations. The constructions depend on an angular parameter, each choice of which yields a proof. For specific…
