Content introduction:
Pythagorean theorem is the most wonderful, famous and useful theorem in elementary geometry. It has been looming in the long history of 4,000 years since ancient Babylon. It can be found in many important mathematical and physical theories, even in stamps, T-shirts, poems, essays and musicals.
The author leads us through the fog of history, from ancient times. Euclidean geometry, algebraic geometry, calculus, Riemannian geometry, Einstein's theory of relativity, all our familiar mathematical discoveries are influenced by Pythagorean theorem. The historical tracks of classical mathematics and modern mathematics come down in one continuous line and never go far. Historical changes and major discoveries in the history of science are all unfolded by Pythagorean theorem. Readers will be deeply shocked by the magnificent historical facts displayed in the book and greatly enrich their horizons.
