Pythagoras of Samos

One of the most famous mathematicians of all time is Pythagoras of Samos. The formal demonstration Pythagorean Theorem is his greatest contribution to mathematics. Eventhough, this theorem was not developed by him. The Life of Pythagoras can be divided into two main parts: the Pythagorean Brotherhood and contributions of mathematics. Pythagoras of Samos was a Greekmathematician. He was born on the island of Samos in the year 582 B.C and died in Meataponto 507 B.C. Pythagoras is best known for the Pythagorean Theorem, which actually belongs to the Pythagorean Schooland not just to Pythagoras. Little is known about Pythagoras’s childhood.

After being expelledfrom Crotona the Pythagoreans were exiled in Taranto where they founded the Third Pythagorean School. The school of Pythagoras was known as the Pythagoreans. The Brotherhood was divided into twoparts: Students and listeners. Students learned math and religious teachings directly from Pythagoras, while the listener was limited to look at how the students conducted. Most people tend to thinkthat Pythagoras was the one who discovered the Pythagorean Theorem. This is incorrect and that the theorem had been applied in Babylon and India since a long time. However, the Pythagorean Brotherhoodand not only Pythagoras were the first to be traced a formal demonstration of the theorem.
