Mathematician Liu Hui is a famous mathematician in ancient China. Liu Hui lived in the Three Kingdoms period (about the 3rd century AD). Liu Hui is famous for his contributions to geometry and number theory.
Liu Hui is one of the annotators of Nine Chapters Arithmetic. Liu Hui extended and explained this classic mathematical work and put forward some new reasoning methods. Liu Hui is regarded as one of the important promoters of ancient arithmetic development in China.
In geometry, Liu Hui put forward a book called Calculation Classics of Islands, which described in detail the method of measuring the area and perimeter of islands. Liu Hui also studied the calculation method of pi, and put forward a method to approximate the area and circumference of a circle with a regular polygon, which is called Liu Hui method.
Liu Hui's work had a far-reaching impact on the development of ancient mathematics in China, and inspired later mathematicians' research. Liu Hui's contribution has been widely recognized, and he has made important contributions to the development and application of mathematics.
Some important meanings of mathematicians
Promote the development of mathematics: Mathematicians have promoted the continuous progress and development of mathematics by putting forward new theories, discovering new mathematical structures and solving complex mathematical problems.
Expanding mathematical knowledge: The work of mathematicians has expanded our knowledge and understanding of mathematics. It develops new mathematical theories, theorems and methods, enriches the knowledge system of mathematics, and lays a foundation for its application in other fields.
Solving practical problems: Mathematicians' research results are often applied to solving practical problems. The application of mathematics is widely involved in science, engineering, economy, computer science and other fields, and the work of mathematicians provides important tools and technologies for these fields.
