Pitagorean school

The Pythagorean School was an ancient Greek philosophical community founded by Pythagoras around 500 BCE. They believed that numbers and mathematical relationships underpinned the universe’s structure, emphasizing that understanding numerical ratios could explain natural phenomena, music, and the cosmos. The Pythagoreans contributed to early ideas in mathematics, geometry, and the concept that mathematical harmony is central to the universe. They also practiced a lifestyle emphasizing discipline and community. Their teachings laid groundwork for future developments in mathematics, science, and philosophy, highlighting the profound connection between numerical patterns and the nature of reality.
