This review is from: Pythagoras: Pioneering Mathematician And Musical Theorist of Ancient Greece (The Library of Greek Philosophers) (Library Binding)

The book is an interesting rendition on a well-known topic to mathematicians and scientists. Pythagoras lived from 580 BC to 500 BC. The rendition covers math, the sciences, gods, planets and music. Pythagoras had sway
over the government of Croton-a small group of aristocrats. He was
persecuted in Italy. The followers spread out to Sicily and Greece.
Copernicus credited Pythagoras for the groundwork set forth in
modern Astronomy and musical ratios. The work is an excellent acquisition
for any student project in the arts or sciences.
