About The Book

Whenever Pythagoras is mentioned, we immediately think of his famous Pythagoras theorem of right-angled triangle that has applications in many branches of modern science: from geometry to Einstein’s theory of General Relativity. The impact of this theorem was or rather still is so great that it outshines all the other contributions of this great teacher. In Pythagoras, who is considered as the father of pure Mathematics, one can see the union of mathematical genius and mysticism. Pythagorean triangles fascinate those who love numbers. More than 400 proofs of his great theorem have been discovered so far. In this book, Pythagoras and His Triangles, various aspects of Pythagoras teachings are touched upon and special Pythagorean Triangles are mentioned which satisfy eleven different constraints.
