• Pythagoras was born around 570 BC and passed away around 495 BC.

• He was a philosopher and mathematician.• He was famous for his Pythagorean Theorem.• He had a teacher named Themistoclea. He taught him

principles of ethics. • He traveled to different places to learn, such as Egypt.

Page 3: Pythagoras was born around 570 BC and passed away around 495 BC. He was a philosopher and mathematician. He was famous for his Pythagorean Theorem. He

• This theorem, came up by Pythagoras, states that in a right angled triangle, the area of the square on the hypotenuse [side opposite to right angle] is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares of the other 2 side. That is—a2+b2=c2

• In other words, if you had a right angle triangle, and you made a square on each of the sides of the triangle, the biggest square will be the other 2 added up together.

• Check if the areas are same: 32+42=52

• Therefore, 9+16=25, which proves Pythagoras’ Theorem correct.

• Zeno of Elea was a pre-Socratic [mathematicians/philosophers before Socrates] philosopher known for his Paradoxes.

• The 4 arguments about motion in the paradoxes are known as…

• 1) Dichotomy• 2)Achilles• 3)Arrow• 4)Stadium• He was the first person to show that the concept of infinity is

problematical, meaning that infinity is questionable

• The four paradoxes are Achilles, Dichotomy, Arrow and Stadium

• Arrow: for motion to occur, an object must change position which it occupies.

• Achilles: a head started slow runner will never be caught up by a faster runner who starts running later than the slow runner.

• Not many people think Zeno’s paradoxes are correct.

• Pythagoras’ math theories are more useful than Zeno’s after comparing them.

• People nowadays mostly disagree with Zeno’s motion paradoxes but still agree with Pythagoras on his Theorem.

• Pythagoras has a huger impact on people nowadays on a wider range.

• Both of them are Pre-Socratic mathematicians.
