Pythagoras was born in Greece in 569 BC and traveled extensively, studying with philosophers in Egypt where he joined the priesthood. He learned arithmetic and music from the Babylonians before founding the Brotherhood of Pythagoreans in Italy. The Brotherhood believed that reality has a mathematical basis and discovered the Pythagorean theorem that the sum of the angles in a triangle equals 180 degrees. While Pythagoras may not have invented the theorem, the Pythagoreans were likely the first to prove it.

And the Greatest of Them All is Love
The document argues that love is the greatest of all things. It makes over 20 statements asserting that no greater philosophy, religion, belief, doctrine, commission, duty, education, challenge, security, stability, joy, hope, experience, opportunity, reward, faith, sin, dream, punishment, need, deed, coldness, distance, height, government, nation, wealth, death, language, force, war, or evil exists than love. It concludes that love is the greatest of all the greatest things in the universe.

Shelly Landau China Trip
Lancaster Country Day School has taken three trips to China to recruit Chinese students. [Trip #1] was a discovery trip that validated their goal but they did not successfully recruit any students. [Trip #2] saw some success recruiting two students but challenges with timing. [Trip #3] saw improvements to their recruitment process, documentation, and communication. They enjoyed visiting schools in China and their relationships with Chinese contacts have been very helpful for their recruitment efforts.
The Egyptian Rope Stretchers
The ancient Egyptians used ropes with evenly spaced knots to help measure right triangles and establish property boundaries. Scribes and their assistants would hold the ropes at specific knots to form a right triangle, demonstrating their understanding of the Pythagorean theorem. While the Egyptians did not name the theorem as such, there is evidence they knew and utilized the relationship between the sides of a right triangle, potentially informing Pythagoras' later work developing this mathematical concept.
Te Entiendes
This document provides instructions and examples for presenting on two of four topics related to Spanish culture: culture, entertainment, history, and famous people. Students are asked to prepare a conversation and presentation with a partner about their chosen topics. The document outlines sub-topics that could be discussed for each main topic, and provides example slides presenting information and visuals about Spain's culture, including traditions like bullfighting, food, fashion, and music. Students are advised to incorporate videos and interpret all Spanish spoken and written for their project presentation.
The Bilingual Child
The document discusses bilingualism and the cognitive advantages it provides children. It describes that bilingual children can acquire two languages simultaneously or sequentially. Simultaneous bilingualism involves acquiring two languages from birth, while sequential involves learning a second language after the first. Early exposure to two languages positively impacts children's linguistic, cognitive, and reading development. Bilingual children have been shown to have better metalinguistic awareness, classification skills, concept formation, analogical reasoning, visual-spatial skills, storytelling skills and semantic development compared to monolingual children.
Pythagoras
Pythagoras was an ancient Greek philosopher, mathematician, and founder of the Pythagorean movement. He was born in Samos, Greece in the 6th century BC and made important contributions to mathematics and philosophy. Some of his key ideas included the Pythagorean theorem, the concept of perfect numbers and ratios, and the idea that mathematics and numbers underlie all of reality. He founded a secretive religious movement based on these mathematical and philosophical principles that was influential for centuries.

Pythagoras
Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician born in 570 BC on the island of Samos. He traveled extensively in his youth to Egypt and Babylon to further his education. Pythagoras founded a school in Crotona, Italy called the Pythagorean school around 530 BC, where he taught his theories and beliefs. He is most famous for discovering the Pythagorean theorem which states that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Pythagoras also believed in the transmigration of souls and was a vegetarian. He died around 495 BC leaving behind many mathematical and philosophical contributions.
Pythagoras
Pythagoras was a 6th century BC Greek philosopher and mathematician who founded the Pythagorean Brotherhood. He traveled extensively and learned about mathematics from Egyptians and Babylonians. Pythagoras settled in Croton, Italy where he taught that numbers were fundamental to understanding the universe. While Pythagoras likely did not discover the Pythagorean theorem, he proved that it works and made important contributions to mathematics including irrational numbers and the four platonic solids.
Mathematics from the past
Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician who lived in the 6th century BC. He founded a religious movement called the Pythagoreans who believed that everything could be explained through mathematics and numbers. Pythagoras studied in Egypt and discovered several important mathematical principles, including his famous Pythagorean theorem that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Later in life he fled to Metapontum where he died at around 90 years old. The Pythagoreans made many contributions to mathematics, discovering irrational numbers and identifying the five regular solids.

Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician and philosopher born around 572 BC. He spent over 20 years traveling and educating himself in Egypt and Babylon before settling in Crotona, Italy, where he formed an exclusive society called the Pythagoreans devoted to mathematics. The Pythagoreans made contributions in many fields including music and medicine. Pythagoras is best known for deriving the proof of the Pythagorean theorem, which states that the square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides. He made other contributions such as connecting numbers and geometry and bringing philosophy and mathematics together.

The document discusses the history and origins of the Pythagorean theorem. It states that while Pythagoras is typically credited with discovering the theorem, evidence shows that earlier civilizations like the Babylonians and ancient Indians understood relationships in right triangles and some versions of the Pythagorean theorem as early as 1000 BC. Specifically, the document notes that the ancient Indian mathematician Baudhayana described and proved the theorem in the Baudhayana Sulba Sutra text from around 800-600 BC, making it one of the earliest known statements of the Pythagorean theorem.
Ancient greece hd sajid
The ancient Greeks had a significant influence on modern society. They invented democracy and held the first Olympics in 776 BCE. The Greeks also made important contributions to science, mathematics, philosophy, and architecture. They believed in a pantheon of gods like Zeus and Apollo and built temples to worship them. Every aspect of Greek life was thought to be controlled by the gods. The Greeks also developed one of the first alphabets, which many modern languages are based on. They left behind literary works and plays that are still read today. Overall, Ancient Greek civilization made lasting contributions across many domains.
Pythagorean Relationship 1
Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician who lived around 2500 years ago. He founded a secretive scientific and religious society in southern Italy. Pythagoras discovered that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the two legs, which is known as the Pythagorean theorem. The Egyptians had previously used this relationship, without realizing it was a mathematical rule, by recognizing that the sides of a 3-4-5 triangle formed a right angle.
Nishita ''
The document discusses the history and origins of the Pythagorean theorem. It states that while Pythagoras is typically credited with discovering the theorem, earlier civilizations like the Babylonians and ancient Indian mathematicians like Baudhayan had known about and demonstrated the theorem centuries before Pythagoras. It provides evidence that Baudhayan was the first to document the theorem in written form in his text Baudhayan Sutra from 800-600 BC, proving it geometrically and numerically. While Pythagoras may have independently discovered it as well, he did not provide a written proof and was not credited for it until centuries later. The document aims to give proper acknowledgment to the earlier civilizations that
Aristotle and archimedes
Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle was born in 384 BC in Stagira. He studied at Plato's Academy until age 17, when he began tutoring Alexander the Great. In 335 BC, Aristotle founded his own school, the Lyceum, in Athens, where he taught and wrote for over a decade before leaving due to his association with Macedon. He made significant contributions to logic, metaphysics, physics, biology and other fields. Mathematician and inventor Archimedes was born around 287 BC in Syracuse. After studying in Alexandria, he returned to Syracuse and made discoveries in calculus, hydrostatics, and engineering. He is credited with inventing machines still used today. Archimedes died around 212

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

A Little History Lesson
- 1. A little history lesson….
- 3. A few facts about Pythagoras: Born about 569 B.C. on the island of Samos in Greece He traveled quite a bit with his father Was educated by 3 great philosophers Traveled to Egypt & was accepted into the priesthood. There he studied geometry
- 4. A few little know facts: Pythagoras was taken prisoner by the King of Persia and brought to Babylon He studied arithmetic & music with the Magoi and the mystical Babylonians He went back to Greece, but then left for Italy It was in Italy that he founded the Brotherhood of Pythagoreans
- 5. What did the Brotherhood of Pythagoreans accomplish? They believed that reality is mathematical in nature They observed strict loyalty and secrecy They were interested in the abstract proof and many types of mathematical concepts Followers discovered that the sum of the angels of a triangle is equal to 2 right angles or 180 degrees
- 6. But it’s not all about math…. Pythagoras was a musician as well. He learned the mathematical ratios of vibrating strings They taught that the earth was a sphere in the center of the universe They taught that the orbit of the moon was inclined to the equator
- 7. But did he really invent the Pythagorean Theorem? Probably not. The theorem was already known by the Babylonians 1000 earlier. The Pythagoreans were perhaps the first to prove it. Legend has it that when they finally completed the proof, the Pythagoreans sacrificed 100 oxen. http://jwilson.coe.uga.edu/EMT668/EMAT6680.F99/Challen/pythagorean/lesson1/lesson1
