An exploration of one of the most celebrated and well-known
theorems in mathematics By any measure, the Pythagorean theorem is
the most famous statement in all of mathematics. In this book, Eli
Maor reveals the full story of this ubiquitous geometric theorem.
Although attributed to Pythagoras, the theorem was known to the
Babylonians more than a thousand years earlier. Pythagoras may have
been the first to prove it, but his proof-if indeed he had one-is
lost to us. The theorem itself, however, is central to almost every
branch of science, pure or applied. Maor brings to life many of the
characters that played a role in its history, providing a
fascinating backdrop to perhaps our oldest enduring mathematical
legacy.
