Pythagoras and the brotherhood developed the theory of number. What main theories did they devise?
Pythagoras and his followers developed the Pythagorean Theorem, the Music of the Spheres, and created a list of which every number represents something.
i.e., 1 - Unity, the source of reason
2 - Duality, Female, Opinion
3 - Trinity, Male, and something else I can't remember
4 - Justice, the secret of fire
5 - Marriage, the union of the Male and Female numbers
It goes all the way up to twelve, excluding 8, 9, and 11.
Who were Pythagoras's parents names?
His father was called Menesarchus and his mother was called Parthenis.
Hope this helps!
Pythagoras studied numbers and believed that things could be predicted and measured
Was Pythagoras the first to discover Pythagoras' therem?
The Pythagorean Theorem derived its named from Pythagoras, the Greek mathematician who is credited for the formula. However, a recent study showed that ancient cultures have already proved the formula long before any of the Greeks did.
It depends if you want the ladder to overhang or to be set under but I would say 2 feet or 2/3 of a meter
What were pythagoras' favorite subjects and where did he travel to learn more about them?
His favourite subjets were metaphysics, music, mathematics, ethics and politics and i think when he was young he travelled widely with his father (who was a merchant) and after he studied in Greece he travelled to Southern Italy and Egypt
What was Pythagoras's culture about?
they thought math solved everything, they actually believed math was a god,

Did Pythagoras actually write any of his theorems down?
Pythagoras never wrote anything down. Everything written was written by one of his followers after his death.
What do the Fibonacci sequence and Pythagoras theorum have in common?
F4, F5, F7, F8, F12, F14 relate to pythagoras number i.e.
3-4-5 :3^2+4^2=5^2, F4=3, F5=5
5-12-13, 13-84-85, F7=13
20-21-29 F8=21
17-144-145,42-144-150 F12=144
145-348-377,377-336-505 F14=377

Are there any important dates in Pythagoras' life?
yes, around 538 B.C. he moved to Croton in southern Italy and started a school for his group of followers. He was born around 575 B.C. on the island of Samos in Greece. And he died around 495 B.C
Because we know so little about this time period we do not know the exact date of his birth and death.
How is an axiomatic system of knowledge different from or similar to other system of knowledge?
It might be different in term of proving the knowledge. For example in math, the uses of axiom is something that people need to accept as something that is unquestionable. It is a logical statement that is considered as assumed to be true. If we are to compare it to other system of knowledge, for instant maybe nature science. In nature science, we need to make a hypothesis to prove something and the hypothesis need to be proved by the experiment that we conducted.
This theory sometimes yields non-terminating decimals, due to the square root function. These results are not exact. The uncertainty of these inexact results proves that: The equation, in its present form, is not accurate enough to be considered a scientific law. So it will remain a theory until it can be adjusted to eliminate these inaccuracies.
Is man born inherently immoral or is morality itinerant?
Well, if your father was Hitler, the yes, to the first one.
What did Pythagoras do in the field of Mathematics?
he came up with Pythagoras theorem. the formulae (works on finding the longer, missing a measurement side of triangles) is (2 stand for squared) A2+B2=C2 square-root C2 and you have the missing side of a triangle.
