The person who is called "Euclid" of China and "Newton" in the history of Chinese mathematics is Liu Hui. Liu Hui was a great mathematician in Wei and Jin Dynasties and one of the founders of China's classical mathematical theory. He made great contributions to the history of Chinese mathematics. His works mainly include Nine Chapters of Arithmetic Notes and Calculation on the Island, which are the most precious mathematical heritage of China.

Who was China Euclid Newton called?

Liu Hui (about 225-295), a native of Zouping, Binzhou, Shandong Province, was quick-thinking and flexible in methods, advocating both reasoning and intuition. He was the first person in China who explicitly advocated using logical reasoning to demonstrate mathematical propositions. Liu Hui's life is a life of hard exploration of mathematics. Although his position is low, his personality is noble. He is not a mediocre man who seeks fame and fame, but a great man who never tires of learning. He left us a valuable fortune.

Liu Hui's achievements in mathematics can be roughly divided into two aspects: one is to sort out China's ancient mathematical system and lay its theoretical foundation, which is embodied in Nine Chapters of Arithmetic Notes. It has actually formed a relatively complete theoretical system, number system theory, area and volume theory. Second, on the basis of inheritance, put forward your own ideas. This aspect is mainly reflected in the following representative innovations: "Mohe square cover" theory, new equation technology, gravity difference technology and so on.
