May 24, 2024 · al-Khwārizmī (born c. 780 —died c. 850) was a Muslim mathematician and astronomer whose major works introduced Hindu-Arabic numerals and the concepts of algebra into European mathematics. Latinized versions of his name and of his most famous book title live on in the terms algorithm and algebra.
Al-Khwārizmī's contributions to mathematics, geography, astronomy, and cartography established the basis for innovation in algebra and trigonometry. His systematic approach to solving linear and quadratic equations led to algebra, a word derived from the title of his book on the subject, Al-Jabr.
Al-Khwarizmi is usually credited with the development of lattice (or sieve) multiplication method of multiplying large numbers, a method algorithmically equivalent to long multiplication. His lattice method was later introduced into Europe by Fibonacci.
May 24, 2017 · Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī, often shortened to al-Khwarizmi (c. 780-850 AD), was a Muslim mathematician and astronomer whose major works introduced Hindu-Arabic numerals and the concepts of algebra into European mathematics during the medieval era. Al-Khwarizmi is commonly nicknamed the ‘Father of Algebra’.
Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī was a Persian polymath, sometimes known as the father of algebra, who produced ground-breaking works in mathematics, astronomy and geography.
Jul 28, 2022 · The Father of Algebra. Al-Khwarizmi dealt with arithmetic (number theory), trigonometry, astronomy and many other diverse mathematical fields.
Al-Khwarizmi is best known for revolutionizing algebra and arithmetic. He didn’t invent algebra, but he did improve the techniques we use to solve algebraic problems.
Al'Khwarizmi was an Islamic mathematician who wrote on Hindu-Arabic numerals. The word algorithm derives from his name. His algebra treatise Hisab al-jabr w'al-muqabala gives us the word algebra and can be considered as the first book to be written on algebra.
al-Khwarizmi, the Father of Algebra. Abu Ja'far Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi lived in Baghdad, around 780 to 850 CE (or AD). He was one of the first to write about algebra (using words, not letters).
On this page is al-Khwārizmī's proof of the rule for solving a quadratic equation of the form "squares plus roots equal numbers" (\(x^2 + bx = c\)). The central square in the diagram represents the square on the unknown.
