The Pythagorean Theorem
and the Enduring Beauty of Mathematics
John Martin, Instructor of Mathematics
Santa Rosa Junior College
In the 1800’s, Charles Dodgson observed, “The Pythagorean theorem is as dazzlingly beautiful now as it was the day when Pythagoras first discovered it.” In this talk, we will explore the history of the theorem and the beauty that it still reveals today.
Don't forget coffee, tea and goodies at the Pre-Colloquium Tea at 3:30 in the 3rd Floor Open Area in the BSS building.
