A Brief History of the Pythagorean Theorem Just Who Was This Pythagoras‚ Anyway? Pythagoras (569-500 B.C.E.) was born on the island of Samos in Greece‚ and did much traveling through Egypt‚ learning‚ among other things‚ mathematics. Not much more is known of his early years. Pythagoras gained his famous status by founding a group‚ the Brotherhood of Pythagoreans‚ which was devoted to the study of mathematics. The group was almost cult-like in that it had symbols‚ rituals and prayers. In addition

The Pythagorean theorem (A^2 + B^2 = C^2) has been impacting all types of people and careers since it was first realized during Ancient Greece times. It is one of the most widely recognized theorems in the mathematics community‚ and used much more than the average person knows: whether you need need to know the dimensions of a bag or you need find the distance from location to another‚ the Pythagorean theorem can be used. Everyone who was taught this theorem in their first year of algebra continues

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

1. “If an investment does not fit with an organization’s strategic plan‚ it is probably not a good idea‚ even if the net present value is positive.” Under what conditions would this be a true statement? When would it be false? The statement is generally true. Investments should be made that are consistent with the company’s strategy. Sometimes a deal comes along that is too good to pass up. In such a case‚ a company might depart from its strategic plan (or revise the plan to accommodate the

1 10/10/01 Fermat’s Little Theorem From the Multinomial Theorem Thomas J. Osler (osler@rowan.edu) Rowan University‚ Glassboro‚ NJ 08028 Fermat’s Little Theorem [1] states that n p −1 − 1 is divisible by p whenever p is prime and n is an integer not divisible by p. This theorem is used in many of the simpler tests for primality. The so-called multinomial theorem (described in [2]) gives the expansion of a multinomial to an integer power p > 0‚ (a1 + a2 + ⋅⋅⋅ + an ) p = p k1 k2 kn a1 a2
