  1. Pythagoras His Biography and Theorem

  2. About Pythagoras Introduction Considered the first true mathematician, Pythagoras established a movement in 6th-century bc southern Italy that emphasized the study of mathematics as a means to understanding all relationships in the natural world. The followers of this movement, Pythagoreans, were the first to teach that the Earth is a sphere revolving around the Sun.

  3. Basic Doctrines The Pythagoreans adhered to certain mysteries, similar in many respects to the mysteries of Orphism. Obedience and silence, abstinence from food, simplicity in dress and possessions, and the habit of frequent self-examination were prescribed. The Pythagoreans believed in immortality and in the transmigration of souls. Pythagoras himself was said to have claimed that he had been Euphorbus, a warrior in the Trojan War, and that he had been permitted to bring into his earthly life the memory of all his previous existences.

  5. Theory Of Numbers Among the extensive mathematical investigations carried on by the Pythagoreans were their studies of odd and even numbers and of prime and square numbers, essential in number theory. From this arithmetical standpoint they cultivated the concept of number, which became for them the ultimate principle of all proportion, order, and harmony in the universe. Through such studies they established a scientific foundation for mathematics. In geometry the great discovery of the school was the hypotenuse theorem, or Pythagoras' theorem, which states that the square of the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
