Atlético Madrid

In the late hours of 9 August 2011, it was announced that Arda would be joining Atlético Madrid for a fee of €12 million plus bonuses,making him the most expensive Turkish footballer of all-time.
He was handed the number 11 shirt and made his 2011–12 debut on 28 August 2011 against CA Osasuna, coming on as a substitute in the 61st minute. He made his UEFA Europa League debut on 15 September against Celtic, starting the game and assisting a goal scored by midfielder Diego. On 18 September, Arda was again selected for the starting XI and notched two assists, one for forward Falcao and the other for Adrián. On 25 October, Galatasaray president Ünal Aysal stated that Arda will come back to Galatasaray in the future underright of first refusal that was signed between Galatasaray and Atlético during an interview with Lig TV. On 30 November, Arda scored his first goal for Atlético in a Europa League game against Celtic with a powerful volley from just outside the box. On 11 December, Arda scored his first league goal with a driven volley[citation needed]just outside the box. In the Europa League game that followed, Arda netted again in a 3–1 win against Rennes.
Arda scored two goals in two minutes as Atlético defeated RCD Espanyol 3–1 on 22 April 2012 to move his side into seventh place and just three points behind Málaga CF for the final Champions League spot.[12] On 9 May, in the 2012 UEFA Europa League Final against Athletic Bilbao, he made an assist to his teammate Radamel Falcao, which made the match 2–0.

He then won the 2012 UEFA Super Cup with Atlético against Champions League victors Chelsea, assisting Falcao for the third goal of the game in a 4–1 victory.[13] On 16 September 2012, Arda scored the third goal of the game against Rayo Vallecano in a 4–3 home win. He was instrumental in Atlético's wins in their first two Champions League matches against Zenit and Porto, scoring a goal in each match.[14]

International career

Arda is a Turkish international regular, having made over 50 appearances for Turkey at senior level. He made his debut in the 1–0 friendly victory over Luxembourg on 16 August 2006, having worked his way through the youth national team at the under-19 and under-21 levels. He scored his first international goal on 25 May 2008 in a friendly against Uruguay. Arda featured in nine of Turkey's 12 qualification matches for Euro 2008, and starred in the finals of the tournament itself. He scored two goals during Turkey's progression to the semi-finals. The first was a 92nd minute winner against co-hosts Switzerland in their second group game to knock them out of the competition. His second came in the final group game against the Czech Republic, in which the winner would go through to the quarter-finals due to identical records. He scored Turkey's first goal in the 75th minute, beating Petr Čech with a low shot, which lead to Turkey coming from 2–0 down to win the match. He also successfully converted a spot-kick in the penalty shootout against Croatia in the quarter-finals, taking Turkey to the semi-finals, where they were eventually knocked out by losing finalists Germany. Arda scored two goals during the qualification rounds of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, but ultimately Turkey failed to qualify from their group. After a qualifier in September 2008 between Armenia and Turkey – the two sides having historical political problems — both teams received a FIFA Fair Play Award for 2008.[15] He scored the Turkish national team's 600th international goal in a 2010 World Cup qualification game against Estonia on 5 September 2009.[16] Arda scored four goals for Turkey during the qualification rounds of the UEFA Euro 2012 — two against Kazakhstan, one against Belgium, and one against Austria.

PYTHAGORAS



 Pythagoras of Samos “Pythagoras the Samian”, c. 570 BC – c. 495 BC, was an Ionian Greek philosopher, mathematician, and founder of the religious movement called Pythagoreanism. He was born on the island of Samos, and might have travelled widely in his youth, visiting Egypt and other places seeking knowledge. Around 530 BC, he moved to Croton, in Magna Graecia, and there set up a religious sect. His followers pursued the religious rites and practices developed by Pythagoras, and studied his philosophical theories. The society took an active role in the politics of Croton, but this eventually led to their downfall. The Pythagorean meeting-places were burned, and Pythagoras was forced to flee the city.  Pythagoras made influential contributions to philosophy and religious teaching in the late 6th century BC. He is often referred to as a great mathematician, mystic and scientist, but he is best known for the Pythagorean theorem which bears his name.  Many of the accomplishments credited to Pythagoras may actually have been accomplishments of his colleagues and successors. Whether or not his disciples believed that everything was related to mathematics and that numbers were the ultimate reality is unknown. It was said that he was the first man to call himself a philosopher, or lover of wisdom, and Pythagorean ideas exercised a marked influence on Plato, and through him, all of Western philosophy.
Pythagorean theorem
According to the Pythagorean theoremin a right-angled triangle the area of the square on the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares of the other two sides—that is, a^2 + b^2 = c^2. While the theorem that now bears his name was known and previously utilized by the Babylonians and Indians, he, or his students, are often said to have constructed the first proof. Because of the secretive nature of his school and the custom of its students to attribute everything to their teacher, there is no evidence that Pythagoras himself worked on or proved this theorem. For that matter, there is no evidence that he worked on any mathematical or meta-mathematical problems. Some attribute it as a carefully constructed myth by followers of Plato over two centuries after the death of Pythagoras, mainly to bolster the case for Platonic meta-physics, which resonate well with the ideas they attributed to Pythagoras.
