#Pythagoras Theorem

[secondwheel]

True!

[thepastisalreadywritten]

Papyrus of Ahmose or Mathematical Rhind (1500 BC / 1550 BC) is the oldest manuscript written in Algebra and Trigonometry.

Manuscript shows that Egyptians used first-order equations and solved them in several ways.

They know quadratic equations and solve them. They also know numerical and geometric sequences and know quadratic equations like two :

X2 + y2 = 100,

Y = 3/4 x, where x = 8, y = 6,

This equation is the origin of Pythagoras theorem, a2 = b 2 + c 2, and Egyptians used to call unknown number (koom).

Pythagoras developed his mathematical theories after travelling to Egypt and learning from Egyptian priests.

This has been proven in books of Greek historians and scholars such as Farpharius of Sour, Herodotus, and Thales.

Egyptians had Algebra, Trigonometry, and Geometry about 2000 years before the birth of Pythagoras and about 3000 years prior to al-Khwarizmi being born.

The Rhind Mathematical Papyrus (RMP; also designated as papyrus British Museum 10057 and pBM 10058) is one of the best known examples of ancient Egyptian mathematics.

It is named after Alexander Henry Rhind, a Scottish antiquarian, who purchased the papyrus in 1858 in Luxor, Egypt.

It was apparently found during illegal excavations in or near the Ramesseum. It dates to around 1550 BC.

Extreme angle shooting, something many shooters never account for, but it is a skill that should be worked. I have known many a hunter that will take a cross canyon shot over an extreme angle shot because they can't figure the angle and would rather keep the baseline shot simple. They have relied so long on that flat earth shot that they miss the big one that is down hill 20 degrees. I'm talking about pythagoras theorem.

The shooter can be either at the top of "A" or at the long end of "B", if they shoot with out knowing the answer to "C" and they range for a "flat earth" shot each bullet will strike high. In both cases the shooter had ranged for "C" (The distance for "C" will be longer than the distance for "B".) causing the bullet to strike high, what they needed was to range for "B", the actual range and not the perceived range of "C". Follow me for more Army shit I still remember after all these years.

Honestly with the workload these kids be getting, what they are studying in school and just generally how they are treated. You really forget these kids are like 6 years old.

Anya is the only one that consistently acts her age and so she sometimes comes off as immature which is insane when you think about it they are all literally 6. This also works cause we can assume she is a year or 2 younger than the rest of her grade, still, even then it’s insane.

Which is why when the other kids actually start to show their age usually in situations of great emotion, the bus hijacking for one. Or even when the kids think one of them is going to have to leave because his family is now poor and they all rally around this kid they never even really spoke to, or when they literally think that some macaroons will make them smarter and help them pass the test. Or when they simply want to play outside.

it’s so jarring and you’re left being like oh right they're six, this isn’t normal. Six-year-olds shouldn't be put under this kind of pressure.

It's another neat little insight into just what kind of society these kids are living in. And a little bit of irony that Loid who wants to create a society where little kids don't have to cry anymore is on a mission that requires the infiltration of a school where little kids can't even be ones.

I'm gonna hold your hand when I tell you this but you know Pythagoras?

The guy known for this math formula?

Well people in the ancient world thought he was either the son of Apollo or Apollo himself. He had a massive cult following and a golden thigh!

He's also named after Apollo under his Python epithet because just like how the oracle of Delphi is known as the Pythia, Pythagoras himself also had python in his name in reference to Apollo slaying the Python.

welcome to the next instalment of “i already learnt this topic in my past physics class so i am going to daydream after finishing the packet” today we’re starting on force vectors in 2 directions at the same time, instead of just 1 direction. big news for 2-D individuals worldwide!!

me fighting the urge to tell every alt person wearing a pentagram that it originated from an Ancient Greek math cult led by the guy who’s credited with “discovering” a^2 + b^2 = c^2, and proceed to give a short lecture on the golden ratio and the Fibonacci sequence

Me any other time: ohhh my gawd we will NEVER use half the math we learn it's literally just for brain strengthening and logic skill building urrrggghhh

Me doing papercrafts: OMG Pythagoras (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠) this theorem fucking slaps (⁠๑⁠♡⁠⌓⁠♡⁠๑⁠) just used it six times ♡⁠(⁠>⁠ ⁠ਊ⁠ ⁠<⁠)⁠♡ and sine and cosine my beloveds (⁠っ⁠˘⁠з⁠(⁠˘⁠⌣⁠˘⁠ ⁠) just helped me make this curve (⁠*⁠˘⁠︶⁠˘⁠*⁠)⁠.⁠｡⁠*⁠♡ (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)⁠✧⁠*⁠。peace and love on planet earth (⁠✿⁠^⁠‿⁠^⁠)

Pythagoras the Mathmetician and Magician

It's always "the pythagorean theorem" and NEVER how Pythagoras was also a literal MAGICIAN (Magi) and literally started his own cult religion of Pythagoreanism

Some of the magical acts attributed to him include:

Being seen at the same hour in two cities.

A white eagle permitting him to stroke it.

A river greeting him with the words "Hail, Pythagoras!"

like, bro was doing SO MUCH MORE than just mathematics give him some credit

middle school: "memorize the pythagorean theorem and your pythagorean triples, they're very important"

high school: "remember to put the pythagorean theorem as a function in your calculator when you start an exam"

college: "I put the pythagorean theorem on your exam just in case."

Full-time job: "here's a lookup table for the pythagorean theorem, just in case you ever have to use it."

This monstrosity was borned in physics class today.

What

[lankanweirdo]

I absolutely adore this proof of the Pythagorean theorem
