When did Pythagoras discover his 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.

What made Pythagoras famous?

Pythagoras created the mathematical equation: a2+ b2= c2. This describes how the length of the legs of a right triangle squared added together will be equivalent to the length of the hypotenuse.

Applications of the Pythagorean theorem?

Pythagoras' theorem is applicable to any right angle triangle and states that when its hypotenuse is squared it is equal to the sum of its squared sides.

What is the Contribution of Pythagoras to trigonometry?

Pythagoras discovered many of the properties of what would become trigonometric functions. The Pythagorean Theorum, a2 + b2 = c2 is a representation of the fundemental trigonometric identity sin2(x) + cos2(x) = 1. 1 is the hypotenuse of any right triangle, and has legs length sin(x) and cos(x) with x being one of the two non-right angles. With this in mind, the identity upon which trigonometry is based turs out to be the Pythagorean Theorum.

What did the sophists teach?
