Pythagoras

Pythagoras of Samos was a well-known Ionian Greek mathematician, scientist, a religious teacher and a philosopher. He was born in Samos and is often hailed as the first great mathematician. He is often cherished as a great mystic and a scientist. Living around 570 to 495 BC, in modern day Greece, he is known to have founded the Pythagorean cult. However, he is renowned for the Pythagorean Theorem that carries his name. The importance of this Theorem cannot be denied until now as it is the base of most other theorems of Mathematics and his great theories lead to the development of geometry and therefore he is renowned as the Father of Modern Mathematics and a great mathematician.

According to Aristotle, the Pythagorean group was one of the first that widely studied advanced mathematics.

He believed that all relations could be expressed as numerical relations as in all things are numbers. He also observed that the vibrating strings create harmonious notes if the ratio of the length of the strings are whole numbers. The same ratio can be extended to other devices too.

He might have travelled widely in his youth, visiting Egypt and other places seeking knowledge.

Pythagoras also made important discoveries in music, astronomy and medicine. He set up a brotherhood with some of his followers who practiced his way of life and pursued his religious ideologies. He became one of the most distinguished teachers of religion in ancient Greece. Pythagoras’s teachings were centered on the doctrine of metempsychosis. His doctrine later came to be known as ²Pythagoreanism², which emphasized on esoteric and metaphysical ideologies. He might have travelled widely in his youth, visiting Egypt and other places seeking knowledge. He was intelligent and well-educated. Most of his works were lost throughout the history and very few survived.
