Review the achievements of pythagoras

For some of the discussion posts, you'll have two questions to answer; I call these "Double Posts". When this happens, you should respond to both prompts, and each prompt should be answered in two hundred words, with a total post word count of at least four hundred words. Same rules apply: write two hundred words in reasonably correct standard American English, using current vocabulary and examining ideas covered in the textbook. Ancient Greek Science and Math

a. We have the Periodic Table that we learn about in a Chemistry class, but what are the elements that the ancient Greeks identified as the foundational facts of the world? Review these ideas here to get them rooted in your thinking. (Here, the comments may all be fairly similar--I'm asking you to dig out some facts from the chapter and fix them in your mind by starting an entry identifying them.) Then, explain how the Milesians were being scientists in terms of the knowledge base available to them. Why do we now classify them as philosophers?

b. Some philosophers have also been giants in the field of mathematics. Review the achievements of Pythagoras (who merely lends his name to the Pythagorean Theorem, in use long before the life span of Pythagoras) and explain his philosophical ideas (including suspect ones, if any). Does math seem to be a good fit with philosophy?
