Pythagoras


Does Godels Incompleteness Theorem imply axioms do not exist?

No, not at all. The Incompleteness Theorem is more like, that there will always be things that can't be proven. Further, it is impossible to find a complete and consistent set of axioms, meaning you can find an incomplete set of axioms, or an inconsistent set of axioms, but not both a complete and consistent set.


Does science offer conclusive proof for a theory?

Sometimes Yes, as in Pythagoras' Theorem. Other times No, for as Godel's Incompleteness Theorem shows, there will be complete bodies of knowledge in which there will be truths that cannot be proven, and falsities which cannot be denied. [I paraphrase his theorem.]


What are some contributions to mathematics by Pythagoras?

He came up with the pythagorean theorem


Can an equation be true or false?

Yes. Goedel's Incompleteness Theorem states that it's also possible to construct equations which cannot be proven to be either true or false.


Who came up with the pathogen theorem?

The pathogen theorem was proposed by Robert May, an eminent ecologist and mathematician, in the 1970s. This theorem relates to the stability of host-parasite interactions in ecological systems.


What is Godel's incompleteness theory?

Gödel's incompleteness theorem was a theorem that Kurt Gödel proved about Principia Mathematica, a system for expressing and proving statements of number theory with formal logic. Gödel proved that Principia Mathematica, and any other possible system of that kind, must be either incomplete or inconsistent: that is, either there exist true statements of number theory that cannot be proved using the system, or it is possible to prove contradictory statements in the system.


What are the name's of the people who came up with a squared plus b squared equals c squared?

the person who came up with that is pythagoris, and it is called the pythagrian theorem.


Did Pythagoras invent algebra?

No. Pythagoras came up with the Pythagorean Theorem and Golden Ratio, though.


Who invented the pythegorean theorem?

Actually, the theorem has been used long ago before mathematician called Pythagoras came along. It was previously already applied in Indian society. The theorem only came to be known as "Pythagoras Theorem" because he (or his students) were the first ones to construct a proof for the theorem.


Why the Pythagorean Theory got his name?

the Pythagorean Theorem got its name from the man Pythagoras who came up with the theory.
