Numerology and the divine triangle power square
Consequently, most historians treat this information as legend.
There are definite details of Pythagoras’ life from early biographies that use original sources, yet are written by authors who attribute divine powers to him, and present him as a deity figure. What is known about Pythagoras is generally considered more fiction than fact, as historians who lived hundreds of years later provided the facts about his life. However, ironically, not much is really known about him – not even his likeness. Pythagoras’ likeness in pictures and sculptures, as shown in Figure 1, appears in all geometry textbooks, and books about the history of mathematics. 1, 2 There are well over 371 Pythagorean Theorem proofs originally collected by an eccentric mathematics teacher, who put them in a 1927 book, which includes those by a 12-year-old Einstein, Leonardo da Vinci (a master of all disciplines) and President of the United States James A. The Pythagorean Theorem is arguably the most famous statement in mathematics, and the fourth most beautiful equation. Some story plot points are: the famous theorem goes by several names grounded in the behavior of the day (discussed later in the text), including the Pythagorean Theorem, Pythagoras’ Theorem and notably Euclid I 47. However, the story of Pythagoras and his famous theorem is not well known. Everyone who has studied geometry can recall, well after the high school years, some aspect of the Pythagorean Theorem. The Greek mathematician Pythagoras has high name recognition, not only in the history of mathematics. There is concrete evidence that the Pythagorean Theorem was discovered and proven by Babylonian mathematicians 1000 years before Pythagoras was born. Pythagoras is immortally linked to the discovery and proof of a theorem that bears his name – even though there is no evidence of his discovering and/or proving the theorem. There are well over 371 Pythagorean Theorem proofs, originally collected and put into a book in 1927, which includes those by a 12-year-old Einstein (who uses the theorem two decades later for something about relatively), Leonardo da Vinci and President of the United States James A. The famous theorem goes by several names, some grounded in the behavior of the day, including the Pythagorean Theorem, Pythagoras’ Theorem and notably Euclid I 47. Some of the plot points of the story are presented in this article.
