No one at that time was able to calculate it more accurately (精确地) than Zu. The achievement (成就) has been accepted around the world. In order to remember Zu, some mathematicians have suggested calling *pi* “*zulu*” (祖率).
Zu was also famous for working out how to calculate the volume (体积) of a ball. 3. The two recorded their achievement in *Zhuishu*. The book was used as a maths textbook during the Tang Dynasty.
4. He worked out that a year should be 365.24281481 days long and created the Daming Calendar. But unluckily, the great mathematician never saw his calendar put into use. 5. Almost ten years later, the Daming Calendar was finally accepted.
