      Yes but also no as Steve von Trig discovered it a thousand years before and of course gets none of the credit.

      / the Pythagorean Theorum is far older than Pyth.

      You joke, but I always like that the Poynting vector, which points in the direction of flow of an EM wave is named after John Henry Poynting.

      I bet that guy was trying so hard to find a vector to get named after him.
