Pythagoras Pythagoras was the son of Mnesarchus and Pythais. He was born in Somas around 569 B.C. Pythagoras was a Greek philosopher who made important developments in mathematics. Pythagoras had two brothers but he did not have any sisters. He was well educated. His high level of education...
This theorem is named after an Ionian Greek mathematician and philosopher by the name of Pythagoras of Samos, conveniently enough. Although this theorem was evident to the Babylonians a thousand years before, Pythagoras was the first to decisively prove it. This theorem is a basis for much of the building...
Pythagoras and His Theorems Pythagoras is a key figure in the development of mathematics, especially in geometry. Unfortunately, there is very little that is known about his mathematical achievements. There are no traces of Pythagoras’s writings. The things that are known were eventually written...
