ythagoras was a multi-faceted genius who made contribution in various fields. He was Greek, but settled in Southern Italy and found the school of Pythagoreans. He was regarded as one of one of the greatest of Greek philosophers. However, his early works were based on the knowledge of the ancient world, which he reintroduced to his own times. He made a great discovery in music, in which he determined that an octave has eight notes. The Pythagoras Theory that he expounded has made him a house hold name even today. This famous mathematical theorem was evolved from a study of the ancient Egyptian engineers who constructed right angle triangle which sides in the ratio 3:4:5. With the aid of mathematics, Pythagoras also proved that the earth is a sphere.
