About Pythagoras
Evidence suggests that the Greek philosopher (around 570–490 BC) did exist.
There is an element of mystery around him, largely because of the secretive nature of the School and society he founded in Italy.
Relatively little is known about his mathematical achievements because there is noting today of his writings.
The Pythagoras theorem describes the relationship connecting the three sides of a right triangle (One in which one angle is 90 °)
