Best Answer

I'm a 12 year old kid but i do know who he was .

Takakazu Seki was born into a samurai warrior family. However at an early age he was adopted by a noble family named Seki Gorozayemon.

Seki was an infant prodigy in mathematics. He was self-educated in mathematics having been introduced to the topic by a servant in the household who, when Seki was nine years old, realised the talent of the young boy.

Seki Kowa came to be known as the arithmetical sage. A sage in this sense doesnt refer to the spice that belongs to the mint family, but instead refers to one who is wise and perceptive. Seki was considered the arithmetical sage because he was very knowledgeable skillful in mathematics and was highly respected because of his wisdom.

Sekis rich life came to an end in October of 1708 in Japan. His tombstone is carved with the most fitting phrase: The Arithmetical Sage.

I never copy and paste.

and in 20 days I'm 13.
