He didn't name it. It is named after Pythagoras because he first developed the theorem.
Pythagoras' theorem :)
Pythagoras supposedly made influential contributions to philosophy and religion in the late 6th century BC. He is best known for the Pythagorean theorem which bears his name. However, because legend and mystery cloud his work even more than that of the other pre-Socratic philosophers, only tentative accounts of his work are given, and it has been questioned whether he contributed much to mathematics or natural philosophy, and whether the Pythagorean theorem is even his.
He was simply known as Pythagoras of Samos.
His only name in historical record is Pythagoras, he is sometimes called Pythagoras of Samos
Firstly in Greek, then in English.Ὁ Πυθαγόρας ὁ Σάμιος or simply Ὁ Πυθαγόρας; Pythagoras of Samos or Pythagoras the Samian, Or Pythagoras Patel
Yes. His name is on it.
Pythagoras. He has the Pythagorean Theorem named after him.
Pythagoras
The Pythagorean theorem gets its name from the ancient Greek mathematician Pythagoras. He was one of the first to offer proof of the theorem.
the Pythagorean Theorem got its name from the man Pythagoras who came up with the theory.
his name was Pythagoras he was an ancient greek mathematician :)
Pythagoras' theorem :)
It was named after the man Pythagoreas which came up with it.It was named after Pythagoras of Samos, who was a very famous Greek mathematician.
When Pythagoras discovered his theorem, he used the general terms of a & b for the shorter legs and c for the longer side which he gave the name "hypotenuse". Thus we have the famous PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM!a^2 + b^2 = c^2
The Pythagorean theorem was, oddly enough, first postulated by a Greek named Pythagoras of Samos, in the 6th century BC or so. It basically described the relationship among the three sides of a triangle and the areas of the same. There is some thought that Babylonian mathematicians well before the time of Pythagoras knew of the relationship, but he's the guy who got his name on the theorem.
A previous US president didnt invent the Pythagorean Theorem. A mathematician with the last name of "Pythagoras" did. After he died, his students continued with his studies and once they perfected it, they named the famous theorem after Pythagoras, their professor. However, President ames Garfield devised a new proof for the theorem and Garfield's proof still appears in geometry books . There was a mysterious society known as the Pythagoreans who studied some mathematics, but also attached mystical properties to numbers . It is not certain what Pythagoras the person actually did or even if he actually existed.
