Liu Hui 劉徽 was a Chinese Mathematician who lived in the 200s in the Wei Kingdom . In 263 he published a book with solutions to mathematical problems presented in the famous Chinese book of mathematics known as ''Jiuzhang Suanshu'' or '' The Nine Chapters On The Mathematical Art ''. In these commentaries he presented (among other things):
The commentaries often include explanations why some methods work and why others do not. He also presented, in a separate appendix called ''Haidao suanjing'' or '' The Sea Island Mathematical Manual '', several problems related to Surveying .
