What's the difference between pythagorean and pythagoreanism?

Pythagorean


Definition:

  • (a.) Of or pertaining to Pythagoras (a Greek philosopher, born about 582 b. c.), or his philosophy.
  • (n.) A follower of Pythagoras; one of the school of philosophers founded by Pythagoras.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Arthur Koestler in The Act of Creation expresses it thus: "From the Pythagoreans onward, through the Renaissance to our times, the oceanic feeling, the sense of participation in the mystery of the infinite, was the principal inspiration of the wingèd and flat-footed creature, the scientist."
  • (2) The power is either derived from the Pythagorean Theorem or measured on graph paper.
  • (3) Some of these factors were similar to the Apollonian, the Dionysian, and the Pythagorean dimensions previously postualted by Nietzsche and Knapp.
  • (4) Beginning with a very different attitude of the antiquity taken up to suicide, which was normally not regarded as a self-murdering but as a voluntary departing this life and as such as a philosophically based act of liberty especially by members of the stoic system who not seldom commited suicide themselves, another estimation is discussed which was exercised by the Pythagoreans and the members of the Aristotele's doctrine.
  • (5) The Pythagorean theorem constitutes a normative model for the estimation of the length of the hypotenuse of a right-angled figure.
  • (6) With the help of a computer these fragments were produced with intonations according to various regular 12-tone tuning systems: Pythagorean tuning (tempering T of the fifths equal to 0.0 cent), equal temperament (T = -2.0 cents), Silbermann (T = -3.9 cents), mean-tone (T = -5.4 cents), and Salinas tuning (T = -7.2 cents).
  • (7) This Pythagorean view re-emerged in medieval universities, where scholars studied the quadrivium, which divided the science of mathematics into four parts: geometry and arithmetic, astronomy and music.
  • (8) A procedure based on the Pythagorean theorem is described for accurately portraying the relationships among the coefficients of correlation (r), determination (r2), nondetermination (1 - r2), and alienation (square root of 1 - r2).
  • (9) 1st, scholars question whether Hippocrates himself actually wrote the text of the Sermon, or whether his Pythagorean followers did.
  • (10) The Pythagorean concept of the Harmony of the Spheres sees musical intervals as corresponding to the intervals of planetary orbit.
  • (11) That must mean they caught a few breaks along the way, a fact that their pythagorean win total of 87 indicates clearly .
