message: The article credits Zu Chongzhi with discovering Cavalieri's principle. Yet the article Liu Hui credits the latter with using Cavalieri's principle to find the volume of a cylinder, about two centuries earlier. Both claims apparently are derived from Needham Vol. 3. Can someone who has access to the book clarify this?  --Lambiam 08:48, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Even worse, Zu Gengzhi (Zu Chongzhi's son) also purportedly discovered Cavalieri's principle! Top.Squark (talk) 19:47, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Lui Hui started the research on "mu he fang gai" (ie, Cavalieri principle), but did not followed thru. It was completed by
Zu Gengzhi.  Zu Chongzhi did not worked on this topic. See Jan claude Martzloff, A history of chinese mathematics p 290-292 --Gisling (talk) 07:11, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Thx for pointing it out. I updated the articles Liu Hui and Zu Gengzhi accordingly, but it would be nice if you add there the citation. Top.Squark (talk) 12:40, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
