He studied at many schools with his followers and Pythagoras the mathematician from around 300BC was his main influence.
Some unique factors of Pythagoras is that he wasn't interested in math but formed the school that is of great mathematical study in its time. He followed a list of rules that pythagoreans followed, some without explanation; he would not eat meat, and stuff.

Pythagoras (570? BC- 495 BC) is recognized as a philosopher and mathematician, one who devoted his life to the study of numbers. He recognized how mathematical concepts related to everyday life, and created a school to encourage future scholars. He developed the religious philosophy Pythagoreanism, which eventually came into conflict with the established religions in Croton, a Greek city in Italy. His studies led to discovering the mathematical nature of music. The Pythagorean Theorem, which relates the lengths and angles within a right triangle, is named for Pythagoras. (see related link)
