What is Pythagoras best known for?
Pythagoras (c. 580-500 B.C.) was an ancient Greek philosopher who was interested in numbers and their meanings. He discovered the relationships between mathematics and music, proposing that sounds and their relationships with other sounds can be measured using numbers. He also proposed that the Earth is a sphere, that the Earth, Moon, and stars revolve around the Sun, and that astronomy (the study of stars, planets, and heavenly bodies) could be written as mathematical sentences called equations. Pythagoras and his followers used lines, triangles, and squares made out of pebbles to represent numbers.Today Pythagoras is best remembered for the Pythagorean theorem: The square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side of a right triangle opposite the right angle) of a right triangle equals the sum of the squares of the lengths of the triangle's other two sides.
Contributions of euclid in the study of geometry?
euclid wrote a work called Stoicheia/Elements which is a thirteen volume collection of geometrical math work. it compiles lots of geometrical knowledge, based on others' works (thales, pythagoras, aristotle, plato, etc,...) he was also the founder of the Alexandrian School of Mathematics.
Is a mountain a physical or mathematical model?
I would definitely say both.A physical model because it IS physical. There is no question that a mountain is a real formation in the physical world defined by known measurements and dimensions and adhering to the laws of nature.It is a mathematical model also because a mountain can be a "theoretical mountain". As in, one totally imagined or drawn, with whatever measurements, dimensions or laws you choose.Mountains are commonly applied today as an easily relatable and versatile model in the study and teaching of mathematics.
What is the study of shapes?
Geometry
Study of universe and earth?
Astronomy.
What theory states that Earth is the center of the universe?
Geocentric Model, Earth centered ) developed by the Ancient Egyptians, e.g. Ptolemy. This model put the earth at the center of the cosmos and the earth is the origin point from which all other objects are referenced by angles. This model is still used in the Right Acension (RA) system.
Who made the geocentric model?
The Earth does not move. Everything in the sky can be seen to revolve round the Earth every day, approximately. The stars do no move forward and back as they would do if the Earth moved. If it doesn't seem to move, why pretend that it does?
