To my fellow mathematicians,
I regret to
inform you that the theorem that bears my name, is not my own. I did not create
this theorem, and I cannot even say that I have utilized this theorem in my
work. It has been proven that the early Babylonians and Indians did use this
theorem, and that my name was attached five centuries after my death. It is believed
that followers of Plato attributed my name with this theorem to bolster the
case for Platonic meta-physics, and it has been this way ever since. I
apologize profusely to whoever should be accredited this honor.
Sincerely,
Pythagoras of Samos
