Liu Hui, wei ren (born around 250 AD) in the late Three Kingdoms period, was an outstanding mathematician in ancient China and one of the founders of China's classical mathematical theory. History books rarely record his birth, death and life story. According to limited historical data, he was from Zouping, Shandong Province in Wei and Jin Dynasties. Never been an official. Liu Hui's mathematical works are rarely passed down to later generations, and what remains is copied over and over again. His main works are: Nine Chapters of Arithmetic Notes (volume 10); In the Tang Dynasty, 1 was renamed as "island calculation"; "Nine Chapters Heavy Difference Map" L volume, but unfortunately the last two were lost in the Song Dynasty.
