Thales's theorem

In geometry, Thales's theorem states that if A, B, and C are distinct points on a circle where the line AC is a diameter, the angle ABC is a right angle. Thales's theorem is a special case of the inscribed angle theorem and is mentioned and proved as part of the 31st proposition in the third book of Euclid's Elements. It is generally attributed to Thales of Miletus, but it is sometimes attributed to Pythagoras. (Wikipedia).

Thales' theorem, right triangles + Napier's rules| Universal Hyperbolic Geometry 29 | NJ Wildberger

This video establishes important results for right triangles in universal hyperbolic geometry--these are triangles where at least two sides are perpendicular. Besides Pythagoras' theorem, there is a simple result called Thales' theorem, giving a formula for a spread as a ratio of two quadr

Teach Astronomy - Thales

http://www.teachastronomy.com/ Thales was a philosopher who lived in the 6th century B.C. in Miletus, in what is now Turkey. No written work by Thales survives, but we know that he kept accurate eclipse records and he speculated about astronomy. He decided that the source of all things w

Proof of Lemma and Lagrange's Theorem

Please Subscribe here, thank you!!! https://goo.gl/JQ8Nys Proof of Lemma and Lagrange's Theorem. This video starts by proving that any two right cosets have the same cardinality. Then we prove Lagrange's Theorem which says that if H is a subgroup of a finite group G then the order of H div

Introduction to additive combinatorics lecture 10.8 --- A weak form of Freiman's theorem

In this short video I explain how the proof of Freiman's theorem for subsets of Z differs from the proof given earlier for subsets of F_p^N. The answer is not very much: the main differences are due to the fact that cyclic groups of prime order do not have lots of subgroups, so one has to
