    Zu Chongzhi

    Chinese mathematician-astronomer (429–500)

    In this Chinese name, the family name is Zu.

    Zu Chongzhi (Chinese: 祖沖之; 429 – 500[1]), courtesy nameWenyuan (Chinese: 文遠), was a Chinese astronomer, inventor, mathematician, politician, and writer during the Liu Song and Southern Qi dynasties.

    He was most notable for calculating pi as between 3.1415926 and 3.1415927, a record in precision which would not be surpassed for nearly 900 years.

    Life and works

    Chongzhi's ancestry was from modern Baoding, Hebei.[2] To flee from the ravages of war, Zu's grandfather Zu Chang moved to the Yangtze, as part of the massive population movement during the Eastern Jin.

    Zu Chang (祖昌) at one point held the position of Chief Minister for the Palace Buildings (大匠卿) within the Liu Song[3] and was in charge of government construction projects. Zu's father, Zu Shuozhi (祖朔之), also served the court and was greatly respected for his erudition.
