Below, you should see links for a required reading entitled "Pythagoras." I have included links to the reading in two different formats: Microsoft Word and pdf format. Microsoft Word is convenient for those students who like to make notes within the document, itself, and pdf format is convenient for students who do not have Microsoft Office or Microsoft Word viewer. Choose the format which is better for you.
