[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.

Liu Hui (flourished c. 263 ce, China) 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.

Liu Hui was a learned man, not only having great expertise in mathematics but also being familiar with the literary and historical classics of China. He could write with clarity and also with style, quoting from a wide variety of sources.

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.

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).

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 …
