Liu Hui (fl. 3rd century CE) was a Chinese mathematician who published a commentary in 263 CE on Jiu Zhang Suan Shu (The Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art). [2] He was a descendant of the Marquis of Zixiang of the Eastern Han dynasty and lived in the state of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period (220–280 CE) of China.

刘徽（约225年—约295年），汉族，山东 滨州 邹平市 [1] 人，魏晋期间伟大的 数学家，中国古典数学理论的奠基人之一。 在 中国数学史 上做出了极大的贡献，他的杰作《九章算术注》和《海岛算经》，是中国最宝贵的数学遗产。 刘徽思想敏捷，方法灵活，既提倡推理又主张直观。 他是中国最早明确主张用 逻辑推理 的方式来论证 数学命题 的人。 刘徽的一生是为数学刻苦探求的一生。 他虽然地位低下，但人格高尚。 他不是沽名钓誉的庸人，而是学而不厌的伟人，他给 中华民 …

Liu Hui was a Chinese mathematician. All that is known about the life of Liu Hui is that he lived in the northern Wei kingdom (see Three Kingdoms) during the 3rd century ce. His fame rests on the commentary he completed in 263 on Jiuzhang suanshu …

刘徽，中國魏晉時期數學家，生平不詳。 魏景元四年（263年）著有《九章算術注》10卷。 [1] 郭書春主張，劉徽有可能是梁敬王 刘定国 之孙菑乡侯刘逢喜的后裔。 [2] 吳文俊 《中國數學史大系》亦同意此說法。 [3]:55-56. 關於劉徽的資料甚少，正史和其他史籍中都沒有此人的傳記資料。 其生平資料主要可見於其本人的著作和零散的史料，依靠學者推測。 [4]:14 籍貫方面，《宋史·禮志》中記述：「於是中書舍人張邦昌定算學：封.......魏劉徽淄鄉男」。 學者據此記載有不同的看 …

Liu Hui was the first Chinese mathematician to provide a rigorous algorithm for calculation of π to any accuracy. Liu Hui's own calculation with a 96-gon provided an accuracy of five digits ie π ≈ 3.1416 .

Liu Hui was a Chinese mathematician who wrote a commentary of the Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art. Liu Hui lived in the Kingdom of Wei so it is likely that he worked in what is now the Shansi province in north-central China. The Kingdom of Wei had come about after the Han Empire, which lasted from around 200 BC to 220 AD, collapsed.

A great mathematician called Liu Hui emerged from Cao Wei, which was one of the Three Kingdom divisions in Chinese History. His mathematical findings and interests are still valued by the world. He descended from the Marquis of Zixiang (Han Dynasty). Some people also believed that he attempted to measure the sun’s shadow. Early Life
