He gave the Pythagorean Theorem to the world.
Pythagoras is credited with publishing what is today called the Pythagorean Theorem, which describes the relationships of the sides of a right triangle. Pythagoras did not invent this idea, nor was he first to publish it. The concept was known in at least 7 cultures around the world. A Chinese clay tablet shows the concept being taught in school about 950 years before Pythagoras was born. It shows up in India, Africa, America, Egypt, and elsewhere before the modern name was applied.
Pythagoras was famous fordiscovering the Pythagoras Theorem in 530 BC. He is also famous for founding the Pythagorean School in Croton, Italy where he himself taught mathematics, astronomy, philosophy, and many other subjects. His society spread throughout the ancient world, influencing all later philosophers and mathematicians, including Plato and Aristotle.
I think that Pythagoras got his eduacation from around the world. On Wikepedia, it says that he traveled the world at an young age, seeking information.

He gave the Pythagorean Theorem to the world.
To school children in the Western world, Pythagoras is probably best known for Pythagoras theorem. However, apart from Eurocentrism, there is little to connect Pythagoras with the theorem since it was known to Mesopotemian, Chinese and Indian mathematicians for centuries before Pythagoras.
Pythagoras was an advanced Greek mathematician for his time. His impact was his discovering the numerical ratios of intervals in the music scales along with his theorem that the square on the hypotenuse of a right angled triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Amazing for ancient times.
The theorem is named for the Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras (ca. 580-ca. 500 b.c.e.). Pythagoras is credited with the theory of the functional significance of numbers in the objective world and numerical theories of musical pitch. As he left no writings, the Pythagorean theorem may actually have been formulated by one of his disciples.

Greeks took Mesopotamian (Iraqi) works and plagiarized them. "Pythagoras theorem" is one example, of many.
Pythagoras, the inventor of the multiplication tables, the founder of the hypothenuse theorem, and discoverer of the magic of numbers, was born and raised in Sidon
There is no Elisha Scott Loomis: he died more than 70 years ago! He was an American teacher and is famous for publishing, in 1940, a book entitled "The Pythagorean Proposition" which contained 370 different proofs of Pythagoras's theorem - both ancient and modern. The book made the Guinness World Records under the title of the most proved theorem.
Democracy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Both Pythagoras and Euclid were ancient Greeks. it not known where Pythagoras formulated his theorem. He was born on the Greek island of Samos. He travelled extensively around the Greek world and Egypt. He returned to Samos and then settled permanently in Croton, in present day Calabria, southern Italy. Euclid worked in Alexandria of Egypt.
