@MrBjorkstrand lol. i'm sure pythagoras didn't name it after himself. people referring to it probably called it that for clarity, and it probably stuck
Last time I loaded a long IKEA box into my car I used the pythagorian theorem. Same when I attempted to measure my plot of land with the help of a friend...
I need to say something. I'm sick of hearing that basic algebraic formulas are important because everybody uses computers. That's like saying you need to know oxygen is diatomic because we all breathe it, or red light is a different frequency than violet because Crayola makes many different colored crayons. The entire education system, at least where I am, is messed up. The passage of such bits of knowledge prove this.

No matter how hard you try, ya just can´t stop social entropy...What is true for objects against gravity, is also true for human societies.
