刘徽（Liu Hui） Liu Hui (born 250 BC), is a great mathematician Chinese in the history of mathematics, history of mathematics in the world, also occupies a prominent position. His masterpiece the nine chapter arithmetic and note count as an island, is the most valuable mathematical heritage of our country. Nine chapters of arithmetic a book about in the Eastern Han Dynasty at the beginning of the solution, there are 246 problems. In many aspects: such as the solution of simultaneous equations, scores of the four operations, the number of positive and negative arithmetic, geometric volume and area calculation, all belong to the advanced ranks of the world, but because of the lack of the necessary solution compared to the original, proof, and Liu Hui have made a a supplementary proof. In these documents, he shows in many aspects of the creative contributions. He is the first to propose the decimal fraction in the world, and to represent decimal irrational number in the algebraic cube root, He correctly put forward the concept of positive and negative numbers and arithmetic rules; improved method for solving linear equations. In geometry, proposed cyclotomic method for a circular area and the perimeter of a circle is inscribed with the method of circular or circumscribed polygon exhaustion. He using cyclotomy scientifically the PI =3.14 results. He used the cyclotomy, diameter of 2 feet from the inscribed hexagon began cutting circle, in turn was 12 shape, 24 polygon...... The smaller the cut, the smaller the area of the regular polygon and the smaller the area of the circle. In his original words, cut it thin, lose it, cut it, cut it so that it can not be cut, and fit it with the circumference without losing it.. He calculated the 3072 shape area and verifies the value. The scientific method to calculate pi proposed by Liu Hui, lay the next thousand years Chinese PI calculation the leading position in the world. The great contribution of Liu Hui in mathematics, put forwar
