Domestic: Zu Chongzhi, Hua Luogeng

Abroad: Pythagoras, Newton

Introduction to the above-mentioned mathematical celebrities:

1. Zu Chongzhi

Zu Chongzhi was born in Jiankang (now Nanjing), and his ancestral home is Qiu County, Fanyang County (now Laishui County, Hebei Province). He was an outstanding mathematician and astronomer during the Southern and Northern Dynasties of China. Home. He studied natural sciences throughout his life, and his main contributions were in mathematics, astronomy, calendar and mechanical manufacturing. Based on the precise method of exploring pi pioneered by Liu Hui, he calculated the "pi" to the seventh decimal place for the first time, that is, between 3.1415926 and 3.1415927. The "ancestral rate" he proposed made a significant contribution to the study of mathematics.

2. Hua Luogeng

Hua Luogeng was born in Jintan District, Changzhou, Jiangsu, and his ancestral home is Danyang, Jiangsu. Mathematician, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, foreign academician of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States, academician of the Third World Academy of Sciences, and academician of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences in Federal Germany. He is the founder and pioneer of Chinese analytic number theory, matrix geometry, canonical groups, automorphic function theory and multivariate complex variable function theory. He is listed as one of the 88 great figures in mathematics in the world today in the Museum of Science and Technology in Chicago. one. International mathematical research achievements named after Fahrenheit include "Fahrenheit's Theorem", "Fahrenheit's Inequality", "Fahrenheit-Wang Method", etc.

3. Pythagoras

Pythagoras was born in an aristocratic family on the island of Samos in the Aegean Sea (a small island in eastern Greece today). He was smart and studious since he was a child. , studied geometry, natural science and philosophy under famous teachers. He himself is famous for discovering the Pythagorean Theorem (called Pythagoras' Theorem in the West).

4. Newton

Newton was born in Woolsthorpe Manor, a small village in the countryside of Lincolnshire, England. He is a knight, president of the Royal Society, a famous British physicist, an encyclopedic "all-rounder", and the author of "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy" and "Optics". In mathematics, Newton shares the credit of developing calculus with Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. He also proved the generalized binomial theorem, proposed "Newton's method" to approach the zero point of a function, and contributed to the study of power series.
