No, Pythagoras did not invent mathematics; rather, he is best known for his contributions to mathematics, particularly in geometry. Mathematics existed long before Pythagoras, with ancient civilizations like the Babylonians and Egyptians already using mathematical concepts. Pythagoras and his followers, the Pythagoreans, significantly advanced mathematical theory, especially with the development of ideas related to numbers and shapes, including the famous Pythagorean theorem. However, he was one of many figures who shaped the field rather than its originator.
