Where did Pythagoras go to school?

Pythagoras did not attend a traditional school as we think of it today; instead, he traveled to various places to learn from different philosophers and scholars. He studied in Babylon and Egypt, where he was exposed to mathematics, astronomy, and mystical teachings. Pythagoras later founded his own school in Croton (modern-day Italy), where he taught his followers his philosophical and mathematical ideas.


Where did Pythagoras discover the triangle property?

It appears that Pythagoras didn't discover it, as it was known to the Babylonians before his time.Pythagoras founded a group (called the Pythagoreans). The contribution of this group to what is now called Pythagoras's Theorem seems to have been to state it in a general form, and maybe to attempt a proof of it. Unfortunately there is essentially no evidence surviving for who did what in the group, or when.Pythagoras founded his group in a place called Croton (in Italy), but he and his followers were eventually driven out, and went to various places. Also Pythagoras travelled around before he went to Croton. So we don't even know with certainty where the work by the Pythagoreans on the triangle property was done, thouogh Croton would be a reasonable guess, as far as we know.My source is Morris Kline, Mathematical Thought from Ancient to Modern Times, Oxford Universty Press New York, 1972, page 10 and pages 28-34.
