    Throughout the centuries, many people have tried to find shortcuts to make their lives simple. Usually described as lazy, mathematicians came along to see the patterns that no one else was able to see. These mathematicians helped reform their societies, and bring about equations that will help others calculate what they need faster. Upon these mathematicians, Pythagoras was most likely one of the most influential mathematicians that helped shape the way that people see shapes today. Through his experiences within his childhood and his practices through adulthood, he helped reform math through the “Pythagorean Theorem”.…

    At about twenty centuries ago there was an amazing discovery about right angled triangles: “In a right angled triangle the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides.” It is called Pythagoras Theorem and can be written in one short equation: a²+b²=c² where c is the longest side of triangle and a and b are the other two sides. Pythagoras was born in the island of Samos in 570 BC in Greek in the eastern Agean. He was the son of Mnesarchus and his mother's name was Pythais as early writers say. His father was a gem-engraver or a merchant.…

    Abstract: This paper reveals the birth of mathematics. Representing quantities in some way is considered the first invention of mathematics. We use mathematics every day in one way or another. Sometimes we even use mathematics unconsciously, as in the case of filing a cup of water for cooking. The measure cup is readily available to us and all we have to do is fill it out, but who started this type of measurement?…

    Unknown to most, the concept of Geometry was first used and expanded immensely by the Greeks. In its primitive stages, it was used by mathematicians in order to find the height of Egyptian pyramids. Theories and methods such as Pythagorean Theorem and the method of exhaustion allowed the mathematical branch to grow which also expanded its possible number of applications. Now, the field of geometry has evolved to such a great degree that we can do everything from calculating the longest side of a right triangle to the volumes of three dimensional shapes. In today’s society, geometry is used in everything from calculating the volume of a pool of water to being used in the process of Architecture.…
