Persian scholar who produced works in mathematics, astronomy, and
geography under the patronage of the Caliph Al-Ma'mun of the Abbasid
Caliphate.

Khwarizmi's algebra:

 He accomplished most of his work in the period between 813 and

833. Mathematical historian Gandz gives this opinion of"Khwarizmi's
algebra is regarded as the foundation and cornerstone of the
sciences. In a sense, Khwarizmi is more entitled to be called "the
father of algebra" than Diophantus because Khwarizmi is the first to
teach algebra in an elementary form and for its own sake,
Diophantus is primarily concerned with the theory of numbers."
Contributions

 His major contributions to mathematics, astronomy,

astrology, geography and cartography provided
foundations for later and even more widespread innovation
in algebra, trigonometry, and his other areas of interest.
 His systematic and logical approach to solving linear
andquadratic equations gave shape to the discipline of
algebra, a word that is derived from the name of his 830
book on the subject, al-Kitab al-mukhtasar fi hisab al-jabr
wa'l-muqabala (‫ال ك تاب‬
 ) ‫ال مخ ت صر ف ي ح ساب ال ج بر وال م قاب لة‬or: "The Compendious
Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing". The
book was first translated into Latin in the twelfth century.

 His book On the Calculation with Hindu Numerals written about 825,
was principally responsible for the diffusion of the Indian system of
numeration in the Middle-East and then Europe.
 This book also translated into Latin in the twelfth century, as
Algorithm de numero Indorum.
 Some of his contributions were based on earlier Persian and
Babylonian Astronomy, Indian numbers, and Greek sources.
 Al-Khwārizmī's method of solving linear and quadratic equations
worked by first reducing the equation to one of six standard forms
(where b and c are positive integers)
 1. squares equal roots (ax2 = bx)
 2. squares equal number (ax2 = c)
 3. roots equal number (bx = c)
 4. squares and roots equal number (ax2 + bx = c)
 5. squares and number equal roots (ax2 + c = bx) 6. roots and
number equal squares (bx + c = ax2)
