Pythagoras (c.580-500 BC) was a Greek mathematician and philosopher, who formulated Pythagoras's theorem: in a right-angled triangle, the square on the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares on the other two sides.
Short Biography:
Much of his work concerned numbers, to which he assigned mystical properties. For example, he classified numbers into triangular ones (1, 3, 6, 10,...), which can be represented as a triangular array, and square ones (1, 4, 9, 16,...), which form squares. He also observed that any two adjacent triangular numbers add to a square number (for example, 1 + 3 = 4, 3 + 6 = 9, 6+ 10= 16,...).
