本日12月13日を1213と4ケタの数で表すと、1213は素数です。西暦を含めた20171213は2つの素数、109と185057の積で表されるので、素数ではありません。
以前、このブログでも紹介しましたが、本校は教科センター方式の学校運営を採用しており、教科専門教室があります。数学教室は全部で6教室あり、教科ステーションと呼ぶ教員室1部屋と合わせて 7室に数学者、科学者の名前をつけています。順に、数学1「ピタゴラス」、数学2「エラトステネス」、数学3「アインシュタイン」、数学4「伊能忠敬」、数学5「ガリレオ」、数学6「アルキメデス」、教科ステーションは「オイラー」です。今回は、数学1教室入口に掲示している「ピタゴラス」のパネルと説明文をご紹介します。

Pythagoras (c.570BC - c.495BC) was an Ionian Greek philosopher and mathematician. He is best known for the Pythagorean theorem. It states that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. It means “a²+b²=c²” and it has numerous proofs more than 100. He had discovered an irrational number like square root 2, Pythagorean scale like (3,4,5),(5,12,13), and drawing method of a regular pentagon. He researched Pythagorean numbers, triangular numbers(1,3,6,10…), and quadrangular numbers(1,4,9,16…). Greece, San Marino, Suriname and Japan have published stamps of him.
“The name of math classroom 1 is ‘Pythagoras’.”
We introduced in this blog on July 19th, 2016 that we have six math classrooms in what we call “Subject Centered Style” in Japan.
We gave the names of famous mathematicians or scientists to the six classrooms and the teacher’s “station” staff room.
Math 1 is “Pythagoras”, math 2 is “Eratostenes”, math 3 is “Einstein”, math 4 is “Ino Tadataka”, math 5 is “Galileo”, math 6 is “Archimedes”, and “Euler” is for the staff room.
We will introduce the panel of “Pythagoras” and a document to explain the panel this time.
