Pythagoras Legacy
Phytagoras was born in 570 BC, on the island of Samos, in the Ionian region. Pythagoras was the most recognized Greek mathematician and philosopher through his theorem. Known as "Father of Numbers", he made an important contribution to philosophy and religious teaching in the late 6th century BC. His life and teachings are not so obvious as there are many legends and artificial tales about him.
In Greek tradition, it is said that he traveled a lot, including to Egypt. Phytagoras's journey to Egypt was one of his efforts to learn, to study, to the priests of Egypt. It is said that, due to his extraordinary intelligence, the priests he visited felt incapable of receiving Phytagoras as a disciple. However, he was eventually accepted …show more content…
Approximately in 530, disagreeing with the tyrannos Polycartes government, he moved to the city of Kroton in Southern Italy. In this city, Phythagoras established a religious tarekat which became known as "The Phytagorean."
One of Phytagoras's famous legacy is the Pythagoras theorem, which states that the hypotenuse squared of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the legs (sides of the elbows). Although the facts in this theorem have been widely known before the birth of Pythagoras, this theorem is credited to Pythagoras because he was the first to prove this observation mathematically.
Pythagoras and his disciples believed that everything in the world was related to mathematics, and felt that everything could be predicted and measured in the cycle of beritme. He believed the mathematical beauty of all natural phenomena can be expressed in numbers or number comparisons. When his disciple Hippasus discovers that squeret , the hypotenuse of the right triangle of the foot with the right side 1, is an irrational number, Pythagoras decides to kill him because it can not dispute evidence presented by
