The influence of Pythagoras in mathematics and philosophy remains strong today, as do the mysteries surrounding the great Greek philosopher. Like philosophy and religion, the science of mathematics can change the way we perceive the world and has a massive impact on our lives.

Pythagoras’ philosophy influenced both Plato and Aristotle, and through them his ideas were fundamental in Western philosophy. The Pythagorean school was pivotal in the evolution of human intellect and in raising the level of philosophical thought for 2,500 years.

In his life 2,500 years ago, the Greek philosopher combined philosophy, mathematics, and religion, and his work and ideas are still influential to this day. The Pythagorean theorem remains fundamental in mathematics and is taught in schools across the world.

This practical ebook features an introduction to Pythagoras and an analysis of his theorem for young students. It also includes exercises for practice, and their answers at the end.

Football is the globe's most favored ball sport in terms of participants and viewers. Basic in its main rules and necessary gear, the game can be played nearly anywhere, including official football fields, gyms, streets, schoolyards, parks, or beaches. Football's regulatory organization, the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), projected that around 250 million football players and more than 1.3 billion individuals were "interested" in football at the dawn of the 21st century; in 2010, an overall television viewership exceeding 26 billion tuned in to watch football's top event, the every-four-years monthlong World Cup finals.

The figures by themselves are sufficient to persuade you that football is an excellent motivator for your students. This convenient ebook will enable you to instruct them on fundamental football vocabulary, explore various football-related idioms more thoroughly, and engage in practice exercises to reinforce that understanding. The solutions to the tasks are given at the conclusion.
