The most important theorem we learnt in childhood carries the name of a Greek philosopher, but not necessarily the legacy.

a 2 + b 2 = c 2. Remember that from high school math class? That's the Pythagorean theorem, which shows that in a right triangle, where the shorter legs are a and b, the sum of their squares is equal ...
