The Pythagorean Therom
The Pythagorean Theorem was made known by Pythagoras. Pythagoras was born on the island Samos, Greece in 570B.C. His father's name was Mnesarchus and his mother was Pythais. His father made sure that Pythagoras got the best possible education. Pythagoras' first teacher was named Pherecydes. When Pythagorean turned 18 he went to the island of Lesbos in order to study with Anaximander, an astronomer and philosopher, and Thales of Miletus, a very wise philosopher and mathematician.
They give credit to Tschou-Gun who lived in 1100B. Pythagoras was also head of a secret brotherhoood which worshiped numbers. The Pythagorean Theorem it important to mathematics because IT IS!!!. The Caldeans and the Babylonians also knew this theorem more than a thousand years before Pythagoras. Although this theorem is called the Pythagorean Theorem it was known to many nationalities before Pythagoras' time. This included Theana, of whom Pythagoras married when he was 60. These men attempted to find numerical explanations for everything. It's been heard that about 600 of the most able citizens were students. and knew all the characteristics of a right triangle. For example, Egyptians use this theorem to build the pyramids. A Pythagorean Theorem related problem was found in a Babylonian originated clay tablet. Even thought there is proof to show that Pythagoras was not the first one to discover the Pythagorean Theorem, it is still named after him because he made it popular and generalized it. Another example, would be the Chinese.
