Quote: "It is perhaps ironic that the most well-known math theorem, Pythagoras' theorem, may have been proved by one of his followers and not him."
Question: How did they find out that this theorem came from Pythagoras or one of his followers, if they don't have any record from that time how do they know that it came from one of them?
Comment: This quote stood out to me because how can they really tell who came up with the theorem, because if they have no record then how do they really know. And if Pythagoras really didn't come up with the theorem then he would be getting credit for a really well-known formula when he might not have figured it out.
