The Pythagorean theorem, for example, is certain only with the formal system of Euclidean geometry.
They relate to mainstream and more mathematical topics appealing to mathematicians and enthusiasts, including whether bees can count, the significance of the number 13, Sudoku puzzles, perfect numbers, pi, the Pythagorean theorem, the body mass index, and figures like Paul Erdos, Gian-Carlo Rota, Persi Diaconis, Daniel Biss, and Caroline Lasser.

Note, this comment comes from the man known for such skills as inventing the wheel, coming up with Pythagorean theorem and splitting the atom.
A key to its interpretation is in how one computes the length of stairs: The only practical way to do that is to apply the Pythagorean Theorem. If you imagine the height of the stairs as the vertical side of a right triangle, and the floor running below the staircase as its horizontal side, then the stairs themselves form the hypotenuse.
"I see bits and pieces of the Pythagorean theorem everywhere.
And, as we'd trudge huffily up the stairs to learn the Pythagorean theorem, the sounds of Roy's dulcet Northern Irish tones would echo in our hot ears.
The Pythagorean Theorem enables students to solve the required height of a ladder or distance to a house, and trigonometry tables are illustrated.
The Pythagorean theorem is commonly used to calculate the lengths of the two bridle legs.
By using Pythagorean Theorem we obtain [[rho].sup.2] = [r.sup.2] - [r.sup.2.sub.1].
Applying geometry's Pythagorean Theorem (which uses stand height and straight-line distance to determine real yardage) it's easy to see the phenomenon in action.
