The origins of Confucianism can be traced to China. This philosophical system was developed between 551 to 479 BCE. Confucianism is based on the teachings of Confucius, a Chinese philosopher.
Gupta mathematicians developed the concept of zero in the use of math, and also developed the decimal system based on the number 10. They also created a number writing system that was later adopted by the Islamic Empire. This system became known as Arabic Numerals, but is really a Gupta achievement.
The system of measurement based on the number 10 that was developed by scientists in the 1790s is called the metric system. It is also known as the International System of Units (SI) and is widely used around the world for scientific and everyday measurements.
Many European philosophers will call him the father of philosophy. Many scientists will call him the father of science. To musicians, nonetheless, Pythagoras is the father of music. According to Johnston, it was a much told story that one day the young Pythagoras was passing a blacksmith's shop and his ear was caught by the regular intervals of sounds from the anvil. When he discovered that the hammers were of different weights, it occurred to him that the intervals might be related to those weights. Pythagoras was correct. Pythagorean philosophy maintained that all things are numbers. Based on the belief that numbers were the building blocks of everything, Pythagoras began linking numbers and music. Revolutionizing music, Pythagoras' findings generated theorems and standards for musical scales, relationships, instruments, and creative formation. Musical scales became defined, and taught. Instrument makers began a precision approach to device construction. Composers developed new attitudes of composition that encompassed a foundation of numeric value in addition to melody. All three approaches were based on Pythagorean philosophy. Thus, Pythagoras' relationship between numbers and music had a profound influence on future musical education, instrumentation, and composition. The intrinsic discovery made by Pythagoras was the potential order to the chaos of music. Pythagoras began subdividing different intervals and pitches into distinct notes. Mathematically he divided intervals into wholes, thirds, and halves. "Four distinct musical ratios were discovered: the tone, its fourth, its fifth, and its octave." (Johnston, 1989). From these ratios the Pythagorean scale was introduced. This scale revolutionized music. Pythagorean relationships of ratios held true for any initial pitch. This discovery, in turn, reformed musical education. "With the standardization of music, musical creativity could be recorded, taught, and reproduced." (Rowell, 1983). Modern day finger exercises, such as the Hanons, are neither based on melody or creativity. They are simply based on the Pythagorean scale, and are executed from various initial pitches. Creating a foundation for musical representation, works became recordable. From the Pythagorean scale and simple mathematical calculations, different scales or modes were developed. "The Dorian, Lydian, Locrian, and Ecclesiastical modes were all developed from the foundation of Pythagoras." (Johnston, 1989). "The basic foundations of musical education are based on the various modes of scalar relationships." (Ferrara, 1991). Pythagoras' discoveries created a starting point for structured music. From this, diverse educational schemes were created upon basic themes. Pythagoras and his mathematics created the foundation for musical education as it is now known.
Pythagoras' theorem states that for any right angle triangle that its hypotenuse when squared is equal to the sum of its squared sides.

There are no right angles in a square based pyramid, so Pythagoras and his theorem are not involved.

Very little verifiable information is known about Pythagoras the person. However, based on his fanatic followers and their obsession with numbers, my guess is that Pythagoras enjoyed developing bogus philosophical ideals based on ridiculous mathematical theories so that he could influence people into buying in to his completely delusional self-worth. It honestly seems, from what I've read, that he enjoyed his ability to control weak-minded people above all else. By all accounts, he enjoyed listening to music too.
The Chinese philosophical system based on the teachings of Laozi is called Daoism (Taoism). It emphasizes following the natural way of the Dao (Tao), which is the underlying principle that governs the universe. Daoism advocates simplicity, spontaneity, and harmony with nature in order to achieve inner peace and balance.
