ALKHARIZMI

Al-Khwarizmi was an influential Persian mathematician and astronomer. He introduced Hindu-Arabic numerals and the concepts of algebra into European mathematics. Some key contributions include writing the seminal text "The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing" which established the principles of algebra, and helping spread the Hindu-Arabic numeral system to the Western world through works like "On the Calculation with Hindu Numerals". Many mathematical terms today are derived from his name, including algebra and algorithm.

AL- KHWARIZMI

AL- KHWARIZMI Father of Algebra.

He introduced Hindu- Arabic numerals and


the concepts of algebra into European
mathematics. He revolutionized algebra and
his seminal works in mathematics, astronomy
and geography have proved to be the
keystone for centuries of advances

across the world. The terms algebra and algorithm are derived
from al-Khwarizmi's name and his work. A Latinization of his
name as Algoritmi led to the term "algorithm".
The word algebra comes from al-jabr in the title of a
landmark book he wrote in about AD 820, al-Kitab al-
Mukhtasar fi Hisab al-Jabr wal-Muqabalah, or The
Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and
Balancing. The book introduced fundamental methods
for solving equations and established the discipline of
algebra. Al-Khwarizmi developed a formula for
systematically solving quadratic equations by using
completion and balancing to reduce any equation to one
that is solvable.
The Hindu–Arabic numeral system is a decimal place-value
numeral system that uses a zero glyph as in "205".[1]
Its glyphs are descended from the Indian Brahmi numerals.
The full system emerged by the 8th to 9th centuries, and is
first described outside India in Al-Khwarizmi's On the
Calculation with Hindu Numerals (ca. 825), and second Al-
Kindi's four-volume work On the Use of the Indian Numerals
(ca. 830).[2] Today the name Hindu–Arabic numerals is
usually used.
The Hindu-Arabic numerals, as they are now known,
greatly facilitated arithmetic computations, particularly
multiplication and division. The modern system of
notation, using ten different numerals including a zero
and using position to denote value, appears to be the
invention of Hindu mathematicians and astronomers,
reaching its present form by the seventh century.
