Ephesus ([ˈɛfəsəs] Ἔφεσος Ephesos; Efes ultimately from Hittite Apasa) was an ancient Greek city on the coast of Ionia, three kilometres southwest of present-day Selçuk in İzmir Province, Turkey. Pythagoras of Samos ([pɪˈθægərəs] [paɪˈθægərəs] [Πυθαγόρας ὁ Σάμιος, Pythagóras ho Sámios, Pythagoras the Samos, Samian], or simply Πυθαγόρας Πυθαγόρης in Ionian Greek;) was an Ionian Greek philosopher, mathematician, and putative founder of the Pythagoreanism movement. He is often revered as a great mathematician and scientist and is best known for the Pythagorean theorem which bears his name. Legend and obfuscation cloud his work, so it is uncertain whether he truly contributed much to mathematics or natural philosophy. Pythagoras of Samos (Greek: Πυθαγόρας ο Σάμιος) lived in the period around the last part of 6th century BC and early 5th century BC, and was an ancient Greek boxer and a winner in boxing at ancient Olympic Games.
Pythagoras was an Ionian Greek person who used an extensive knowledge of mathematics in his work.
