1, 10 years old rhetoric, not seeking promotion and wealth, just seeking to know the mysteries of the universe. Zu Chongzhi was a mathematician and astronomer in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Zu Chongzhi's mathematical work Composition records many mathematical calculation methods, such as the calculation of the roots of some special quadratic equations and cubic equations. In addition, Zu Chongzhi also calculated pi between 3. 14 15926 and 3. 14 15927, which was the highest calculation accuracy at that time.

2. Zu Chongzhi's grandfather and father were both officials, so it was inevitable that Zu Chongzhi was forced to study the Four Books and Five Classics when he was a child.
