Get the pythagoras mug.c. 582-c. 507 B.C.E. A Greek cosmologist who believed that numbers described the true nature of the universe. A very influential teacher, about whom many legend were written and later attatched to Jesus in the New Testament.
It is uncertain why the Pythagorean theorem is so named; it was neither Pythagoras nor his followers who discovered or even proved the rule, nor were they even particularly concerned with it in any way.

Get the Pythagorean Diet mug.A japanese Kids show made popular by it's fansubbing by the acclaimed dattebayo. This show opens and ends with crazy complex "Pythagoras Switches" which usually involve marbles, dominos and tubes. At the end or each of these rube Goldberg inventions the name of the show is revealed followed by children singing "Pitagora Suicchi". Because it's a kids show it tries to teach basic speech skills making it a fun way for the average English speaking japanophile to get a beginners grasp of Japanese. The show has also gained some popularity over you-tube which is filled with people performing the so called "algorithm march" which is usually done by tmen in suits in the middle of the show. They often have accompanyment in the form of soccer teams, and ninjas.

Get the Pythagoras Switch mug.Using Pythagoras Theorem, the third side of a right-angled triangle can be calculated when two sides are given.
Suppose A = length of hypotenuse and
B & C = lengths of the sides containing the right angle
Then (A^2) = (B^2)+(C^2)
Proof:
If a = angle opposite side A ( =90 degrees)
b = angle opposite side B
c = angle opposite side C
then B = A sin a and C = A cos a
Squaring and adding,we get the result.

Get the pythagoras theorem mug.1. In geometry, a theorem stating that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (the longest side) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides (legs). If the hypotenuse is c units long and the lengths of the legs are a and b, then c2 = a2 + b2. The theorem provides a way of calculating the length of any side of a right triangle if the lengths of the other to sides are known.
