The ancient Greek mathematician Pythagoras and his eponymous theorem have made numerous appearances in art and pop culture, typically as a reference to mathematical endeavors, but also as an example of abstruse higher learning in general.

Pythagorean tiling has been used as proofs by the 9th-century Islamic mathematicians Al-Nayrizi and Thābit ibn Qurra, and later by the 19th-century British amateur mathematician Henry Perigal.^[1][2]

At Dulcarnon (literally two-horned) is a reference to the supposed difficulty of the theorem by the 14-century English poet Geoffrey Chaucer in Troilus and Criseyde.

The premise that Pythagoras had left some writings, the manuscripts which have been lost, forms the premise of Pythagoras' Revenge: A Mathematical Mystery by Arturo Sangalli; it was published on 2011-07-25.^[3][4] |-

In the second episode ("Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow"), of second season of the science fiction television series Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, set in the 23rd-century, the long-lived Lanthanite Pelia casually remarks that she hasn't taken a math class "...since Pythagoras made the crap up", implying that she was a contemporary.^[5]
