Pythagorean Theorum
The Pythagorean equation relates the sides of a right triangle. If the lengths of any two sides are known the length of the third side can be found. If the angle between the other sides is a right angle, the law of cosines reduces to the Pythagorean equation. His theorem was the platform for algebraic reasoning and remains one of the most proven theories today. -

The Discovery of Venus
Pythagoras was one of the first to recognize that the morning and evening stars were actually the same object Venus. Some say he can be credited with discovering the Planet. Because of his philosophy, Galileo was able to focus his study this nearby planet. It was when he discovered the planet going through moon phases that he had evidence that Venus goes around the Sun as well. -
