More History
There is a debate whether the Pythagorean theorem was discovered once,or many times in many places.Theorem can be divided into four parts,Pythagorean triples, knowledge among the sides of a right triangle,knowledge among adjacent angles and proofs of the Theorem within some deductive system .
