Greek mathematician and philosopher. Pythagoras was responsible for important developments in the history of mathematics‚ astronomy‚ and the theory of music. The thing that Pythagoras is probably the most famous for is the Pythagorean Theorem. The Pythagorean Theorem is used in the field of mathematics and it states the following: the square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the two other sides. This means that if one makes a square (with all sides equal in

constraints on the currents in the branches that are attached to each node of a circuit. In simplest terms‚ KCL states that the sum of the currents that are entering a given node must equal the sum of the currents that are leaving the node. Thus‚ the set of currents in branches attached to a given node can be partitioned into two groups whose orientation is away from (into) the node. The two groups must contain the same net current. In general‚ the currents entering or leaving each node m of a circuit

The four color theorem is a mathematical theorem that states that‚ given a map‚ no more than four colors are required to color the regions of the map‚ so that no 2 regions that are touching (share a common boundary) have the same color. This theorem was proven by Kenneth Appel and Wolfgang Haken in 1976‚ and is unique because it was the first major theorem to be proven using a computer. This proof was first proposed in 1852 by Francis Guthrie when he was coloring the counties of England and realized
