3. Zu Chongzhi Wen Yuan was an outstanding mathematician and scientist in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. He was born in 429 AD and died in 500 AD. Zu Chongzhi calculated that the true value of π was between 3 14 15926 and 3 14 15927, which was equivalent to being accurate to the seventh place after the decimal point and simplified to 3 14 15926, which was the most advanced in the world at that time.
