Pythagoras and Progression
Our world is composed of numbers; whether it is formulas or simple math, we are encompassed by a subject that has no beginning or end; it is infinite; the number line goes on forever. The development of these concepts to facilitate our life in a mathematical aspect has been made by several people; moreover, their notions have fulfilled their purpose.
Pythagoras of Samos was born in 570 B.C. in Samos, Greece; however, he moved to Egypt, where he lived twenty-two years. Had he not been captured and taken as a prisoner to Babylon, he time in Egypt might have been longer. Resided in Babylon for about twelve years as a detainee, he learned mathematics and other spiritual concepts during his time there. Once released, he …show more content…
The theorem used to find the hypotenuse, adjacent, or opposite sides of a triangle is also used in Euclidian Geometry. “A” squared plus “B” squared equals “C” squared is the formula used in the theorem. For example, we are given two numbers in the sides of a triangle; if we are given the adjacent and opposite sides, and we must figure out the hypotenuse, we will be required to use the Pythagorean Theorem. The two numbers given are squared, and our third number, we obtain it from the sum of the two numbers squared. Pythagoras’s theorem applies to geometry; however, it can seldom be used in other subjects such as …show more content…
Sounds created by blacksmiths were beautiful to him; therefore, he wanted to know how the scientific law applied to this ravishing resonance. After conducting several observations; his conclusions were fallacious; nonetheless, because of this, Pythagoras “discovered the properties” of string scope.
Although people rejected his beliefs in Samos, later on his philosophies became esteemed by others; moreover, Pythagoreanism, which was based on Pythagoras’s beliefs, was created. Beliefs included the harmony of spheres, the Pythagorean Theorem, the philosophy of spiritual cleansing, and the golden section, and “tetractys.” This was composed of a triangle of equal sides, and it included ten points and four rows; it symbolized a mathematical idea for those who believed in Pythagoreanism. They also sternly demanded the members of the order to fully devote themselves.
Pythagoras met his demise in 495 B.C. around the age of seventy-five; some say that he died in his temple along with other members; however, there proof that suggests that he was undernourished. It is speculated that none of his scriptures made it to modern time; however, his ideas and innovations live on forever. This man availed not only math, but also other subject to further enhance
