The principal sources for the life of Pythagoras are: (1) two short biographies written by the Neoplatonist philosophers Porphyry and Iamblichus, both of moderate reliability; (2) the biographical sketch composed by Diogenes Laertius; and (3) the smattering of testimonia left by ancient writers ...

In the successive augmentations of the falcon-shaped altar, the Theorem of Pythagoras is used, and according to Seidenberg, we have here the motive that led to its invention. Seidenberg finds an analogous link between geometry and religion in the building of temples. The construction of a ...
Given Pythagoras' Theorem ( the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the square root of the sum of the squares of each of its legs' lengths), Draw a plumbing diagram for this expression. Then write a procedure which prints the length of the hypotenuse of a right ...
Euclidean distance is used to calculate the distance between two points in a plane or a three-dimensional space. Euclidean distance is based on the Pythagoras theorem.Let’s calculate the distance between P1 and P2P1(1,4) and P2(4,1)...
This can be considered a generalization relative to the usual statement of the theorem. This point was made by Euclid, 2300 years ago. See Proof #7 in reference 4, which is a collection of proofs of the Pythagorean theorem. The theorem can be applied to any shape, but the theorem is mo...

We can draw the following conclusion at this point: Natural kinds, addressed by Cassirer as natural objects,Footnote31form the necessary condition of everything. A thought like the theorem of Pythagoras may be eternally true, but it exists only in virtue of conscious beings existing and thinking...
