The Pythagoreans were followers of Pythagoras, a Greek philosopher and mathematician who lived from about 570 to 495 BCE. The term "Pythagorean" is often associated with their mathematical contributions, particularly the famous Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides (a² + b² = c²).
