Pythagoras
Pioneering Mathematician and Musical Theorist of Ancient Greece
The Library of Greek Philosophers
Pythagoras, known to us primarily for the Pythagorean theorem that bears his name, was a Greek mathematician and philosopher. He was interested not only in math but made advances in astronomy, music, physical science, medicine, and many other areas as well. This authoritative volume shows that Pythagoras still has the power to inform and inspire a life lived for the love of knowledge.

Series Review--
"This series introduces students to the great philosophers and mathematicians who helped shaped the intellectual world in modern times. More in depth than many text books for middle school students, the lives and teachings of these men come alive with the aid of colorful maps and illustrations, as well as examples of the kinds of knowledge these men taught to their students..." -Tracy Fitzwater, Librarian, Crescent School District, Joyce, Washington, LMC
