These videos require Windows Media Player (v10).

Please note: You may experience trouble with more recent upgrades to Internet Explorer (now v.7) and Media Player (now v.11). These no longer support streaming from the mms servers used by mathcentre, so we are recommending that you uninstall IE7 (IE6 lies underneath) and replace the new version of WMP with the fully functioning v.10 (you may need to find a download via google after uninstalling v.11). All those that have done this have reported back that everything is working again.

• Pythagoras' theorem
  Pythagoras theorem - the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides - is well known. In this tutorial we revise the theorem and use it to solve problems in right-angled triangles. A less familiar form of the theorem is also considered. (Mathtutor Video Tutorial)
