Impact
Pythagoras has had a huge impact to our world. His talented mind made us think about math in a whole new way. He helped us understand that math can have relationships with not just itself but with also music, science, and philosophy. Without Pythagoras there would not be a Pythagorean Theorem. There would not be a music scale that shows connections between math and music. Math would not be the same as it is now. Not only was Pythagoras a great mathematician he was also a very religious person. He was the founder of the religion Pythagoreanism. These type of people believed in the concept of souls. Thus, Pythagoras has had a huge impact on our world
