Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician and philosopher who lived in the 6th century BCE. He is most well-known for his theorem, known as the Pythagorean Theorem, which states that in a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

Pythagoras founded a philosophical and religious school in ancient Greece known as the Pythagorean School. The school was known for its emphasis on mathematics, music, and the idea that numbers were the key to understanding the universe. Pythagoras and his followers believed in the concept of the harmony of the spheres, which linked mathematical ratios to the movement of planets and celestial bodies.
