How many achievements did Pythagoras get?

Pythagoras, the ancient Greek philosopher and mathematician, is best known for his contributions to mathematics, particularly the Pythagorean theorem. However, he did not receive formal "achievements" in the modern sense, as the concept of accolades was different in his time. His influence extended beyond mathematics to philosophy and mysticism, and he founded a religious movement known as Pythagoreanism. While specific achievements are difficult to quantify, his legacy in mathematics and philosophy is profound and enduring.


What are the achievements of Pythagoras?

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.
