Department of Mathematics Education J. Wilson, EMT 669 The Pythagorean Theorem by Stephanie J. Morris The Pythagorean Theorem was one of the earliest theorems known to ancient civilizations. This famous theorem is named for the Greek mathematician and philosopher, Pythagoras. Pythagoras founded the Pythagorean School of Mathematics in Cortona, a Greek seaport in Southern Italy. He is credited with many contributions to mathematics although some of them may have actually been the work of his students. The Pythagorean Theorem is Pythagoras' most famous mathematical contribution. According to legend, Pythagoras was so happy when he discovered the theorem that he offered a sacrifice of oxen. The later discovery that the square root of 2 is irrational and therefore, cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers, greatly troubled Pythagoras and his followers. They were devout in their belief that any two lengths were integral multiples of some unit length. Many attempts were made to suppress the knowledge that the square root of 2 is irrational. It is even said that the man who divulged the secret was drowned at sea. The Pythagorean Theorem is a statement about triangles containing a right angle. The Pythagorean Theorem states that:

Triangle Properties Pythagorean Theorem For a right triangle with legs and and hypotenuse Many different proofs exist for this most fundamental of all geometric theorems. The theorem can also be generalized from a plane triangle to a trirectangular tetrahedron , in which case it is known as de Gua's theorem . The various proofs of the Pythagorean theorem all seem to require application of some version or consequence of the parallel postulate : proofs by dissection rely on the complementarity of the acute angles of the right triangle, proofs by shearing rely on explicit constructions of parallelograms, proofs by similarity require the existence of non-congruent similar triangles, and so on (S. Brodie). Based on this observation, S. Brodie has shown that the parallel postulate is equivalent to the Pythagorean theorem.

PYTHAGORAS AND HIS FOLLOWERS The early story of Greek geometry is strangely different from its founding in Miletus . Most of what we know is a mixture of myth and magic, shapes and rules, all revolving around the fabulous figure of Pythagoras. The "divine" Pythagoras-that was what he was called, not only after his death but even in his own lifetime. For the latter part of the 6th century B.C. was still a time of superstition. The Ionian "physiologists" had only tried to find an orderly pattern in nature. Most men continued to believe that gods and spirits moved in the trees and the wind and the lightning. And cults were popular all over the Greek world-"mysteries," they were called-that promised to bring their members close to the gods in secret rites. Some were even headed by seers. Pythagoras was one of these. A native of the island of

In general mathematics a statement must be interesting or important in some way to be called a theorem. Less important statements are called: lemma : a statement that forms part of the proof of a larger theorem. The distinction between theorems and lemmas is rather arbitrary, since one mathematician's major result is another's minor claim. Gauss' lemma and Zorn's lemma , for example, are interesting enough per se that some authors present the nominal lemma without going on to use it in the proof of any theorem. corollary : a proposition that follows with little or no proof from one already proven. A proposition A is a corollary of a proposition or theorem B if A can be deduced quickly and easily from B proposition : a result not associated with any particular theorem.

Mathematics and Science Fiction By Jerry W. Smith Langley High School Introduction This curriculum unit is a series of lessons that use science fiction stories to enhance the teaching and learning of some topics in mathematics. Students do not usually see mathematics in literature. The majority of the textbooks that the students use, present the mathematics in what seems like the dullest way possible. The students get adept at skipping the text and looking for the formulas, equations, and theorems. There is a wealth of expository material about mathematics available, but the students seldom read it and teachers seldom have enough time to find the appropriate reading material and then develop lessons to go with it. This unit grew out of a seminar offered by the Pittsburgh Teachers Institute given by Dr. Richard Holman called "Learning Physics Through Science Fiction". As I read the science fiction stories and listened to the physics related to those stories, as presented by Dr. Holman, I began to wonder if there were science fiction stories from which mathematics could be developed. As I searched the literature, I found several books containing mathematical science fiction stories. These stories have a mathematical basis rather than a physics basis. For each story I chose I include a brief synopsis of the story, the mathematics involved and, a list of problems that naturally develop from the story. You may ask, "Why use science fiction to teach mathematics?" Science fiction has had a long history of exciting people’s minds. From the days of Jules Verne to the modern writers of today, the stories force the reader to think, imagine and stretch his mind. When Verne took me around the world, under the sea, and to the moon I had to think about other cultures, other forms of transportation, and other logistics that the stories required. Many questions occurred to me. How did Captain Nemo keep the air breathable in the submarine? How did they breathe while traveling to the moon? Did the moon have air and if not how did they breathe on the moon? When Arthur C. Clarke gave us an alien in his novel

Introductory and well paced explanations of the proof of the four-colour theorem. Suitable for any level from late undergraduate upwards. Description The four-colour theorem is one of the famous problems of mathematics, that frustrated generations of mathematicians from its birth in 1852 to its solution (using substantial assistance from electronic computers) in 1976. The theorem asks whether four colours are sufficient to colour all conceivable maps, in such a way that countries with a common border are coloured with different colours. The book discusses various attempts to solve this problem, and some of the mathematics which developed out of these attempts. Much of this mathematics has developed a life of its own, and forms a fascinating part of the subject now known as graph theory.

Fermat's last theorem Number Theory Index History Topics Index Version for printing Pierre de Fermat died in 1665. Today we think of Fermat as a number theorist, in fact as perhaps the most famous number theorist who ever lived. It is therefore surprising to find that Fermat was in fact a lawyer and only an amateur mathematician. Also surprising is the fact that he published only one mathematical paper in his life, and that was an anonymous article written as an appendix to a colleague's book. There is a statue of Fermat and his muse in his home town of Toulouse: (Click it to see a larger version) Because Fermat refused to publish his work, his friends feared that it would soon be forgotten unless something was done about it. His son, Samuel undertook the task of collecting Fermat 's letters and other mathematical papers, comments written in books, etc. with the object of publishing his father's mathematical ideas. In this way the famous 'Last theorem' came to be published. It was found by Samuel written as a marginal note in his father's copy of Diophantus 's Arithmetica Fermat's Last Theorem states that x n y n z n has no non-zero integer solutions for x y and z when n Fermat wrote I have discovered a truly remarkable proof which this margin is too small to contain.

Pythagorean Theorem Trigonometric ratios Story problems Quiz on Special Triangles One of the most famous mathematicians who has ever lived, Pythagoras, a Greek scholar who lived way back in the 6th century B.C. (back when Bob Dole was learning geometry), came up with one of the most famous theorems ever, the Pythagorean Theorem . It says - in a right triangle, the square of the measure of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the measures of the two legs. This theorem is normally represented by the following equation: a + b = c where c represents the hypotenuse. With this theorem, if you are given the measures of two sides of a triangle, you can easily find the measure of the other side. 1. Problem: Find the value of c.

Hypatia's Pythagorean Skit This is a stand-alone version of one of four mathematical skits contained in a forthcoming play called Hypatia's Street Theatre . Hypatia was murdered by a fanatical mob in 415 AD. Though none of her written work has survived, we know that it included books on the mathematics of Diophantus, Apollonius, and Ptolemy difficult subjects even today. It is said that she often donned her "philosopher's cloak" and went among the crowds to philosophise with strangers. The play takes the liberty of imagining this urge to communicate extended to mathematics itself, through theatrical skits. Her love for the theatre is mentioned by several historians. There are two panels hanging in the back-ground. The one on the right shows a dissection proof of the Pythagorean Theorem, with five colours. The one on the left shows the Pythorean triangle with its three surrounding squares all equally tiled, but coloured yellow (the smallest), blue, and green (the one on the hypotenuse), respectively. Hypatia: Hi folks, my name's Hypatia, and I'm your hostess for this presentation. Today we'll take a long step back in time over nine hundred years and visit the Pythagoreans. They were a small community, a kind of sect, with strange beliefs and customs, such as: sharing things communally, not eating meat in fact not even beans and leading simple, truthful lives. More strangely yet, they thought the universe was based on mathematics.
