Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Ralph Osborn Midshipman at Annapolis: A Story of Life at the U. S. Naval Academy
The Osborn Demonstration Of the Pythagorean problem may not be new. It hardly seems reason able that such a simple solving of this ancient problem should be discovered at this late date. However, it is certainly shorter and more graphic than any given in present day geometry text-books. Some search has been made, but up to the present no evidence has been found showing previous knowledge Of this method of demonstration.
Should this story create any interest in Ralph Osborn and his friends it may here be stated that they have all lived. They were not the first nor will they be the last to have trials and triumphs at Annapolis.
