Sensuality and Proportion
A primer in sound for architects. Birdsong The ferocity of the dawn chorus is hard to imagine, unless one is for example a town dweller unexpectedly in the countryside in May in Provence, with the shutters half closed and the windows open after a good evening's human conversation. It is a loud sound and loud and complex in depth. First of all it is reverberant: woods are reverberant spaces especially to small sounds the size of a tree trunk. The bird and tree speak together. It is an acoustic map of the place : too complex to understand rationally, so complete that it is perfectly understood emotionally, the amount of life in nature. Immensely three dimensional: resonant, capable of successive layered listenings, as though one could fix on one particular sound and drift to another and get a scale of distance and occupation of each.

Pythagoras of Samos Xenophanes of Colophon
Pythagoras of Samos (c 582-504 BC)
Pythagoras, who coined the word "philosophy" which in Greek is "the love of wisdom," lived from around 582 to 504 BC and was another remarkable thinker from Asia Minor. Pythagoras, who was the son of Mnesarchus, seems to have been born at Samos and certainly spent his early manhood there, where he studied under Thales. Heraclitus speaks of him in the past tense, and Aristoxenus said Pythagoras left Samos to escape from Polycrates' tyranny (532 BC). Timaeus seems to have said he came to Italy in 529 BC where he settled at Croton and remained there for twenty years. Croton was a Greek colony on the southern coast that had long been in friendly relations with Samos and was famed for its athletes and its doctors. There Pythagoras founded his society and his doctrine was adopted and developed by a large following of Pythagoreans, including Damon. He died at Metapontum, whither he had retired when the Crotoniates rose in revolt against his authority. Heraclitus, in the next generation, speaks of his having carried scientific investigation (

The Great Pythagoras of Samos Archeological Sites Accommodation Samos On-line Beaches ... Towns There is not the slightest doubt among historians that the great Pythagoras was a son of Samos. He was born in the 50th Olympiad, that is, 580-574 BC. His father was Mnesarchus, who was from Etruria, but who settled , lived and died on Samos. His mother, Parthenia, was a descendant of Angaeus, the first King of Samos. Pythagoras had two brothers, Eunomus and Tyrrhenus, and a sister, Themistocleia. There is a whole host of myths about the birth of Pythagoras. Porphyrius tells us that a Samiot poet was responsible for the myth that Pythagoras was the son of Apollo and the Pythian priestess of Delphi. The poet Iamblichus says that Mnesarchus, the father of Pythagoras, asked the Pythian priestess at the Delphic oracle if the journey which he was about to undertake would be pleasant and profitable. The oracle replied that his affairs would prosper; it also told him that his wife, Parthenia, who was pregnant at the time, would give birth to a son who "would never be exceeded in beauty and wisdom". Mnesarchus, realizing that the child to be born was sent by the gods, renamed with his wife Pythaes and called his new-born son Pythagoras, because the Pythian priestess had made a prophecy about him. As Pythagoras grew up, he acquired wisdom. Pythagoras was the pupil of Pherecydes, who was then living on Samos, and took lessons from Hermadamas. At the age of 18, he visited Thales at

Pythagoras of Samos
Circa 569 to 475 BC Samos, Ionia Some 50 web sites are posted on the web that discusses the life and works of Pythagoras. I found that the following provided information as clearly and succinctly as any place else http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Pythagoras.html You will note that he is acclaimed as a mathematician, but for the purposes of this course I want to emphasize the practical base upon which he built his mathematical theory. He was convinced that there existed a connection between the physical and the abstract worlds and that the link between the two worlds was numbers. Not just any old numbers, but whole numbers and only prime numbers (1, 3, 5,7, 11 et al.) at that. To Pythagoras the universe was numbers. Numbers had character and personality and mystical qualities. Even more, they were abstract beings understood by the intellect apart from their connection to the physical world. Seven has its own nature apart from its power to enumerate the gold coins in my purse. Seven can enumerate anything and can be manipulated mentally to predict future outcomesYou can predict that seven purses containing seven coins dumped into a pile will produce 7 X 7 = 49 coins without counting them. There is an intellectual leap for you! Now might be a good time to read the monograph on Brian Greene.

55. The History Of Pythagoras And His Theorem

http://www.arcytech.org/java/pythagoras/history.html
The History of Pythagoras and his Theorem In this section you will learn about the life of Pythagoras and how it is that the theorem is known as the Pythagorean Theorem. Be aware that there are no good records about the life of Pythagoras, so the exact dates and other issues are not known with certainty. In addition, the names of some of the people as well as the places where Pythagoras lived may have different spellings. Pythagoras was born in the island of Samos in ancient Greece . There is no certainty regarding the exact year when he was born, but it is believed that it was around 570 BC That is about 2,570 years ago! Those were times when a person believed in superstitions and had strong beliefs in gods, spirits, and the mysterious. Religious cults were very popular in those times.
Pythagoras of Samos Pythagoras' father's name was Mnesarchus and may have been a Phoenician. His mother's name was Pythais. Mnesarchus made sure that his son would get the best possible education. His first teacher was Pherecydes, and Pythagoras stayed in touch with him until Pherecydes' death. When Pythagoras was about 18 years old he went to the island of Lesbos where he worked and learned from Anaximander, an astronomer and philosopher, and Thales of Miletus, a very wise philosopher and mathematician. Thales had visited Egypt and recommended that Pythagoras go to Egypt. Pythagoras arrived in Egypt around 547 BC when he was 23 years old. He stayed in Egypt for 21 years learning a variety of things including geometry from Egyptian priests . It was probably in Egypt where he learned the theorem that is now called by his name.

http://grassroots.brunnet.net/rothesayhigh/math_project/pythagorasmid.htm
Pythagoras of Samos, c.560-c.480 BC, was a Greek philosopher and religious leader who was responsible for important developments in the history of mathematics, astronomy, and the theory of music. He migrated to Croton and founded a philosophical and religious school there that attracted many followers. Because no reliable contemporary records survive, and because the school practiced both secrecy and communalism, the contributions of Pythagoras himself and those of his followers cannot be distinguished. Pythagoreans believed that all relations could be reduced to number relations ("all things are numbers"). This generalization stemmed from certain observations in music, mathematics, and astronomy.
The Pythagoreans noticed that vibrating strings produce harmonious tones when the ratios of the lengths of the strings are whole numbers, and that these ratios could be extended to other instruments. They knew, as did the Egyptians before them, that any triangle whose sides were in the ratio 3:4:5 was a right-angled triangle. The so-called Pythagorean theorem, that the square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides, may have been known in Babylonia, where Pythagoras traveled in his youth; the Pythagoreans, however, are usually credited with the first proof of this theorem.
In astronomy, the Pythagoreans were well aware of the periodic numerical relations of heavenly bodies. The CELESTIAL SPHERES of the planets were thought to produce a harmony called the music of the spheres. Pythagoreans believed that the earth itself was in motion. The most important discovery of this schoolwhich upset Greek mathematics, as well as the Pythagoreans' own belief that whole numbers and their ratios could account for geometrical propertieswas the incommensurability of the diagonal of a square with its side. This result showed the existence of IRRATIONAL NUMBERS.

Pythagoras of Samos
Born: about 569 BC in Samos, Ionia
Died: about 475 BC
Pythagoras of Samos is often described as the first pure mathematician. He is an extremely important figure in the development of mathematics yet we know relatively little about his mathematical achievements. Unlike many later Greek mathematicians, where at least we have some of the books which they wrote, we have nothing of Pythagoras's writings. The society which he led, half religious and half scientific, followed a code of secrecy which certainly means that today Pythagoras is a mysterious figure.
We do have details of Pythagoras's life from early biographies which use important original sources yet are written by authors who attribute divine powers to him, and whose aim was to present him as a god-like figure. What we present below is an attempt to collect together the most reliable sources to reconstruct an account of Pythagoras's life. There is fairly good agreement on the main events of his life but most of the dates are disputed with different scholars giving dates which differ by 20 years. Some historians treat all this information as merely legends but, even if the reader treats it in this way, being such an early record it is of historical importance.
Pythagoras's father was Mnesarchus, while his mother was Pythais and she was a native of Samos. Mnesarchus was a merchant who came from Tyre, and there is a story that he brought corn to Samos at a time of famine and was granted citizenship of Samos as a mark of gratitude. As a child Pythagoras spent his early years in Samos but travelled widely with his father. There are accounts of Mnesarchus returning to Tyre with Pythagoras and that he was taught there by the Chaldaeans and the learned men of Syria. It seems that he also visited Italy with his father.

Little is known of the historical Pythagoras although there exist many late fictional biographies of him.Since he wrote no works himself, many later sayings are attributed to him. Plato mentions the secrecy of the Pythagorean school ( tadpis p. 18 no. 1
More is known of the later Pythagoreans who were the followers and philosophical descendants of the schools that Pythagoras founded in southern Italy (Tarentum, Croton and Metapontum)

The earliest Pythagorean literary texts date from the Hellenistic period when there was a Neo-Pythagorean. revival.
The basis for most references to him in modern religious literature stems from the late 3rd-5th century A.D. when Neo-Platonic biographies of Pythagoras, were written. They rebuild Pythagoras' way of life out of Plato's dialogues and later literature.
