Pythagoras made influential contributions to philosophy and religious teachings in the late 6th century BC.
Many mathematical and scientific discoveries were attributed to him, as well as discoveries in the field of music, astronomy, and medicine, but Pythagoras is best known for the Pythagorean Theorem which bears his name.
The Pythagorean Theorem simple stated is... well, math so we're going to skip it.

Pythagoras and his disciples were the first to use the concept of "cosmos" and point out that the earth rotates around the sun.
Pythagoras was a vegetarian.
