Answer» Answer: Logo MAR 16, 2018 Early Proofs of the Pythagorean Theorem by Leonardo Da Vinci, Ptolemy, Thabit ibn Qurra, and Garfield LEONARD KELLEY Leonard Kelley holds a bachelor's in physics with a minor in mathematics. He loves the academic world and strives to constantly explore it. Introduction While scholars will argue about whether or not Pythagoras and his ancient SCHOOL actually discovered the theorem that bears his name, it is still one of the most important theorems in mathematics. Evidence that the ancient Indians and Babylonians knew of its principles exists but no written proof of it surfaced until sometime later in Euclid’s Elements Book I PROPOSITION 47 (Euclid 350-351). While MANY other proofs of Pythagoras have surfaced in the modern age, it is some of the proofs between Euclid and the present that bear INTERESTING techniques and ideas that reflect the inner BEAUTY of mathematical proofs. |
