Pythagoras of Samos

My mathematician I will be telling you about is Pythagoras of Samos. He was not only a famous mathematician but also a great philosopher and astronomer in ancient Greece. 

He is a well known mathematician because of his famous theorem in geometry called the 'Pythagorean Theorem'. 
The ‘Pythagorean Theorem’ is one of the earliest theorems in geometry, which states that in right-angle triangles, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

                           a² + b² = c²

I think that Pythagoras was a fabulous mathematician.
