•  Pythagoras

  Pythagoras of Samos was an Ionian Greek philosopher and founder of the religious movement called Pythagoreanism. Most of our information about Pythagoras was written down centuries after he lived, thus very little reliable information is known about him. He was born on the island of Samos, and may have travelled widely in his youth, visiting Egypt and other places seeking knowledge. Around 530 BC, he moved to Croton, a Greek colony in southern Italy, and there set up a religious sect.

•  Symplectic vector space

  In mathematics, a symplectic vector space is a vector space V equipped with a nondegenerate, skew-symmetric, bilinear form ω called the symplectic form. Explicitly, a symplectic form is a bilinear form ω : V × V → R which is Skew-symmetric: ω(u, v) = −ω(v, u) for all u, v ∈ V, Nondegenerate: if ω(u, v) = 0 for all v ∈ V then u = 0. Working in a fixed basis, ω can be represented by a matrix. The two conditions above say that this matrix must be skew-symmetric and nonsingular.
