Pythagoras and Euclid studied geometry, which is the branch of mathematics concerned with the properties and relations of points, lines, surfaces, and solids. Pythagoras is best known for the Pythagorean theorem, which relates the sides of a right triangle, while Euclid is often referred to as the "father of geometry" for his work in defining geometric principles in his seminal text, "Elements." Their contributions laid the groundwork for much of modern geometry.
Pythagoras and Euclid were pivotal figures in the history of mathematics and geometry. Pythagoras is best known for the Pythagorean theorem, which establishes a fundamental relationship between the sides of a right triangle, influencing not only mathematics but also philosophy and music theory. Euclid, often referred to as the "Father of Geometry," authored "Elements," a comprehensive compilation of the knowledge of geometry of his time, establishing a systematic approach to mathematical proofs that laid the groundwork for modern mathematics. Their contributions have had a lasting impact on various fields, shaping how we understand and teach mathematics today.

Pythagoras and Euclid were best known for their work in mathematics.
Pythagoras died before Euclid was born.
Euclid is known as the Father of Geometry. He was a very intelligent mathematician who wrote a book all about geometry, called The Elements.
Pythagoras was born around 570 BC, about 235 years earlier than Euclid.
Euclid is thought to have lived from about 325 to 265 BC. Pythagoras lived approximately 250 years before Euclid, from about 582 to 500 BC.
You're probably referring to Euclid, whose theories on geometry are still used today, hence "Euclidean Geometry". If it's not Euclid , Pythagoras was also quite well-known for maths, geometry and the like.

Different.
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.
Either Euclid or Pythagoras; Euclid being the "father of geometry," and Pythagoras having discovered possibly the most important geometrical relation. (The Pythagorean theorem)
