The legacy of Pythagoras, the ancient Greek mathematician, extends far beyond the classical era into the very fabric of modern mathematics. His contributions, particularly the Pythagorean Theorem, have become foundational elements in the curriculum of GCSE Maths. In this blog post, we’ll delve into the life of Pythagoras, explore the impact of his work on GCSE Maths, and highlight practical applications of his theorems in everyday life.
Pythagoras: A Glimpse into the Past
Pythagoras, born in approximately 570 BCE, was not just a mathematician but also a philosopher and mystic. His most renowned contribution, the Pythagorean Theorem, states that in a right-angled triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.
