What did Pythagoras do?
Pythagoras
Pythagoras came up with the Pythagorean theorem. A squared plus B squared equals C squared. He discovered irrational numbers (but this discovery was not made by himself and it also was against what he said. Pythagoras said that all things were numbers by that he meant the ration of two numbers. He also discovered the first five regular solids, the tetrahedron, octahedron, icosahedron hexahedron and dodecahedron. Pythagoras taught that the earth was a sphere and at the center of the universe.
Pythagoras was born in about 569 and died about 475. He was born to Mnesarchus (who was from Tyre) and Pythais of Samos. He is often referred to as the first pure mathematician. We have no record of Pythagoras' work. He led a society which was half religious and half science, they followed a code of secrecy which means we have know knowledge of it and it shows that Pythagoras is a mysterious figure.
