1, Zu Chongzhi
Zu Chongzhi (429-500) was born in Wen Yuan. Jiankang (now Nanjing) was an outstanding mathematician and astronomer in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Zu Chongzhi studied natural science all his life, mainly contributing to mathematics, astronomical calendar and mechanical manufacturing.
On the basis of exploring the accurate method of pi pioneered by Liu Hui, he first calculated the "pi" to the seventh place after the decimal point, that is, between 3. 14 15926 and 3. 14 15927. His "ancestral rate" has made great contributions to mathematical research. It was not until the 6th century A.D./KLOC-that the Arab mathematician Al Cassie broke this record.
2. Liu Hui
Liu Hui (about 225-295), a native of Zouping, Binzhou, Shandong Province, was a great mathematician in Wei and Jin Dynasties and one of the founders of China's classical mathematical theory. He is a very great mathematician in the history of Chinese mathematics. His representative works "Nine Arithmetic Notes" and "Arithmetic on the Island" are China's most precious mathematical heritage.
Liu Hui has quick thinking and flexible methods. He advocates reasoning and intuition. He was the first person in China who explicitly advocated using logical reasoning to demonstrate mathematical propositions.
3. Zhu Shijie
Zhu Shijie (1249- 13 14), a native of Yanshan (present-day Beijing), was a mathematician and educator in the Yuan Dynasty, and engaged in mathematics education all his life. It has the reputation of "the greatest mathematician in the medieval world". Zhu Shijie developed the "Quaternary Technique" on the basis of celestial sphere technique at that time, that is, he listed the polynomial equation of higher degree and its elimination method.
In addition, he also created the "superposition method", that is, the summation method of high-order arithmetic progression, and the "trick", that is, the high-order interpolation method. His main works are "Arithmetic Enlightenment" and "Meeting with Siyuan".
4. Hua
Hua is a world-famous mathematician, people's mathematician and famous popular science writer. He is the founder and pioneer of China's research on analytic number theory, canonical group, matrix geometry, automorphic function theory and multiple complex variable function theory.
China, one of the 88 great mathematicians in the world today, is one of the most influential mathematicians in the world. He is an academician of the China Academy of Sciences, a foreign academician of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States, a member of the 1st to 6th the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) of China, and a vice-chairman of the 6th Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.
The role of mathematicians
1, exploration and innovation of mathematicians
Mathematicians play a vital role in promoting the development of mathematical theory. They constantly explore new fields of mathematics and put forward new theories, theorems and proofs through in-depth research. Mathematicians' innovative spirit is the source of mathematical progress. Their work provides a tool and framework for solving practical problems, and also inspires scientists and engineers in other fields.
2. The application of mathematics in solving problems
Mathematicians not only make contributions in theory, but also apply mathematics to practical problems. In scientific research, engineering design, financial modeling and other fields, mathematicians use mathematical knowledge to solve problems and promote technological progress and social development. Their efforts have made mathematics an indispensable tool in modern society.
3. Cultivate future mathematical talents.
Mathematicians have not only made achievements in their own research fields, but also devoted themselves to cultivating a new generation of mathematical talents. Through teaching, lectures and discussions, they stimulate students' interest in mathematics and guide them to the road of mathematical research. The efforts of mathematicians sow the seeds for the future development of mathematics and ensure the continuous prosperity and progress of mathematics.
