He is the creator of the famous theorem names after him, the Pythagoras Theorem, which is a great achievement in the world of mathematics. His flaw was his refusal to accept a challenge or a concept against his theorem, where he ordered the farmer who questioned him to be killedHe Shiyinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05037881606184073071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7639696297971503300.post-27695598315480121082012-07-24T20:41:32.080+08:002012-07-24T20:41:32.080+08:00Pythagoras was a great Greek mathematician and phi...Pythagoras was a great Greek mathematician and philosopher who travelled across many countries. He made the Pythagoras' Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2. [This theorem is proven in the second video, where 3 squares were placed as that their sides formed a right angle triangle. When the water in the smaller squares, which sides formed the opposite and adjacent, was poured into the bigger square, there was no extra amount and the bigger square was filled to the brim.] This theorem was made by learning from the building works of the Egyptians. He managed to make his own religion, which gained him much followers, known as Pythagoreans. However, a farmer found a flaw in Pythagoras' Theorem, that the theorem would not work if the square root of 2 was involved. Pythagoras had the farmer killed and fled.JiaEnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17243404865945980150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7639696297971503300.post-5637633761015361262012-07-24T20:18:04.404+08:002012-07-24T20:18:04.404+08:00Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician and a philoso...Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician and a philosopher who travelled to many countries. He made the connection between the shorter lengths of a right-angled triangle and its hypotenuse when he observed how the Egyptians built their pyramids. That was how he made the Pythagoras Theorem: a^2+b^2 = c^2. He even managed to create his own religion based on numbers. However, when a farmer proved that there was a flaw in his theorem (sqrt 2). Pythagoras thus killed him and was forced to flee.valeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04242498511299326717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7639696297971503300.post-63448193148681473932012-07-24T18:10:58.490+08:002012-07-24T18:10:58.490+08:00Pythagoras was an awesome Greek mathematician, and...Pythagoras was an awesome Greek mathematician, and made the thereom a^2 +b^2 = c^2(proved in the second video) by learning from the Egyptians.Chin Wai Kitnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7639696297971503300.post-4413837573921532422012-07-24T10:59:23.131+08:002012-07-24T10:59:23.131+08:00Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician and philosoph...Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician and philosopher.
