- The sum of the angles of a triangle is equal to two right angles.
- The theorem of Pythagoras - for a right-angled triangle the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides. The Babylonians understood this 1000 years earlier, but Pythagoras proved it.
- Constructing figures of a given area and geometrical algebra. For example they solved various equations by geometrical means.
- The discovery of Irrational Numbers is attributed to the Pythagoreans, but seems unlikely to have been the idea of Pythagoras because it does not align with his philosophy the all things are numbers, since number to him meant the ratio of two whole numbers.
- The five regular solids (tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, icosahedron, dodecahedron). It is believed that Pythagoras knew how to construct the first three but not last two.
- Pythagoras taught that Earth was a sphere in the center of the Kosmos (Universe), that the planets, stars, and the universe were spherical because the sphere was the most perfect solid figure. He also taught that the paths of the planets were circular. Pythagoras recognized that the morning star was the same as the evening star, Venus.

Yes, Pythagoras died on None
What work did Pythagoras do?
pythagoras made the famous pythagoras theorem and many more....
What did Pythagoras do in the field of Mathematics?
he came up with Pythagoras theorem. the formulae (works on finding the longer, missing a measurement side of triangles) is (2 stand for squared) A2+B2=C2 square-root C2 and you have the missing side of a triangle.
