About Pythagoras
Pythagoras was an ancient Greek philosopher and mathematician, best known for his contributions to geometry and the Pythagorean theorem, which relates the lengths of the sides of a right triangle. Born around 570 BCE on the island of Samos, he founded the Pythagorean school, which combined philosophy, mathematics, and spirituality, influencing Western thought for centuries. Pythagoras's teachings emphasized the significance of numbers and their relationships to the universe, laying foundational concepts that extend beyond mathematics into music and metaphysics.
