They don’t make mathematicians like they used to. This is the legacy of Pythagoras today, A squared plus B squared equals C squared, geometry for eighth graders. Big Classroom would have you believe that’s all he ever was, the triangle guy. But once upon a time Pythagoras might have been the most revered of all the Greek philosophers – more than Socrates, Plato, or Aristotle! Far from just the triangle guy, Pythagoras started an entire math cult that made beans illegal, led a war, and ended in fire.
