       [quote]A 3,700-year-old clay tablet has revealed that the
       ancient Babylonians understood the Pythagorean theorem more than
       1,000 years before the birth of the Greek philosopher
       Pythagoras, who is widely associated with the idea.
       The tablet, known as Si.427, was used by ancient land surveyors
       to draw accurate boundaries and is engraved with cuneiform
       markings which form a mathematical table instructing the reader
       on how to make accurate right triangles. The tablet is the
       earliest known example of applied geometry.
       A French archeological expedition first excavated the tablet,
       which dates to between 1900 and 1600 B.C in what is now Iraq in
       1894, and it is currently housed in the Istanbul Archeological
       Museum.
       But it is only just now that researchers have discovered the
       significance of its ancient markings.[/quote]

       It's called the 'Pythagorean' Theorem because Pythagoras was the
       first to introduce it to the Greeks. He didn't invent the
       theorem. But I'm sure you and I are one of the twelve people who
       know that.
