	Omar Khayyam
		Khayyam also solved the cubic equation x3 + 200x = 20x2 + 2000 and he found a positive root of this cube by considering the intersection of a rectangular hyperbola and a circle.
		Khayyam seems to have been the first to conceive a general theory of cubic equations, and perhaps even more remarkable was that Khayyam stated that the solution of this equation requires the use of conic sections and not the ruler and compass method, a result which would not be proven for another 750 years!
		Khayyam furthered his mathematical talent in his work, the Treatise on Demonstration of Problems of Algebra, which contained a complete classification of cubic equations with geometric solutions found by means of intersecting conic sections.

		Khayyam is only Iranian's intellectuals that permanent of his name and statement is certain between the world.
		Face of Khayyam appears in people memories : intellectual scholar, sharp sighted scholar, farther of social, school problems and he is epic hero with difficulties of philosophy and mathematic like quality of measure and intellectual ability against impossibilities.
		Khayyam doesn't teach in school but teaches counsel and advice, his works give to reader awareness and alertness, philosopher write things on complex words and out landish or long - drawn - out but Khayyam creates poem on simplicity and elegance or briefness and he becomes impressive.

		Khayyam is thought to have been born into a family of Nishapur artisans.
		Omar Khayyam also estimated and proved to an audience included the then-prestigious and most respected scholar Imam Ghazali, that the universe is not moving around earth as was believed by all at that time.
		By constructing a revolving platform and simple arrangement of the star charts lit by candles around the circular walls of the room, he demonstrated that earth revolves on its axis, bringing into view different constellations throughout the night and day(completing a one-day cycle).

	Index to Poetry - the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
		Depending on the sources of reference that one chooses, Omar Khayyam is believed to have composed somewhere between 200 and 600 Rubaiyat (quatrains).
		Some are known to be authentic and are attributed to him, while others seem to be combinations or corruption of his poetry, and whose origins are more dubious.
		The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam is among the few masterpieces that has been translated into most languages, including English, French, German, Italian, Russian, Chinese, Hindi, Arabic, and Urdu.

	Philosophers : Omar Al-Khayyam
		Khayyam means the tent-maker, and although generally considered as Persian, it has also been suggested that he could have belonged to the Khayyami tribe of Arab origin who might have settled in Persia.
		His remarkable classification of equations is based on the complexity of the equations, as the higher the degree of an equation, the more terms, or combinations of terms, it will contain.
		Khayyam introduced a calendar that was remarkably accurate, and was named as Al-Tarikh-al-Jalali.

		Perhaps even more remarkable is the fact that Khayyam states that the solution of this cubic requires the use of conic sections and that it cannot be solved by ruler and compass methods, a result which would not be proved for another 750 years.
		In fact, Khayyam gives an interesting historical account in which he claims the contributions by earlier writers such as Al-Mahani and Al-Khazin were to translate geometric problems of the Greeks into algebraic equations, something which was essentially impossible before the work of Al-Khwarizmi.
		Khayyam's fame as a poet has caused some to forget his scientific achievements which were much more substantial.

		Khayyam (A.D. 1044-1123) is best known to us today for his poetry, collected in the remarkable "Rubaiyat Of Omar Khayyam." Of all the many English translations of this work, I prefer Edward Fitzgerald’s.
		Khayyam's contributions to other fields of science include a study of generalities of Euclid, development of methods for the accurate determination of specific gravity, etc. In metaphysics, he wrote three books Risala Dar Wujud and the recently discovered Nauruz-namah.

	Omar Khayyam
		In his own country, Omar Khayyam was renowned for his scientific achievements, but not as a poet.
		The epithet Khayyam signifies "tent-maker" - it is possible that Omar or his father, Ibrahim the Tentmaker, one time exercised that trade.
		Omar Khayyam, whose daily thoughts in his rubáiyát were often pessimistic and who was troubled by eternal question of life, death, deity, and the nature of the universe, was viewed with suspicion by orthodox Muslims.

	Omar Khayyam on Cubics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		One of the accomplishments of the Persian mathematician Omar Khayyam was to give geometrical constructions for the roots of a cubic as the intersections of two conics.
		It's usually said that Khayyam erroneously believed the cubic could not be solved algebraically, but I think we need to be careful about assuming that Khayyam was referring to the modern idea of what constitutes an "algebraic" solution.
		Remember that, to Khayyam, "algebras are geometric facts which are PROVED", and he was still strongly influenced by the Greek insistence on straight-edge and compass constructions as the only valid "proofs" in a certain strict formal sense.

		LONDON, October 4 (IranMania) - Khayyam, the Iranian poet, mathematician, and astronomer, is well-known in Albany, with Albanian translations of his quatrains competing with the famous English one by Fitzgerald, Jawaher Spahiu, an Albanian scholar of Khayyam studies attending a literary conference in Iran, told CHN.
		To Spahiu, the Albanian translation of Khayyam is a masterpiece, “It is so good that one feels Khayyam has originally said his words in Albanian.
		Spahiu sees the Iranian poet as an extraordinary phenomenon, whose courage is appraisable for some 800 years ago; a poet who connected the earth and heavens with his words and yet has touched even a public audience; a poet who has found the key to human relations.

		Khayyam was a compassionate and noble figure whose extraordinary literary talent and all-encompassing intellect displayed no natural boundary.
		Omar Khayyam additionally provides us with a fascinating glimpse of the Assasins of Syria, believed by some to represent one of the world's first terrorist organization.
		As an advisor to the Persian Shah, Khayyam's effort to root the Assassins out of their extrodinary mountain fortress in northern Syria bears a striking resemblance to events taking place in Afganistan in the wake of September 11th.

		The Malik Shah appointed Omar Khayyam to help reform the calendar, and he and seven other learned men created the Jalali era system which reportedly surpassed the Julian calendar's accuracy and came close to that of the Gregorian.
		When he died at Naishapur in the year of the Hegira, 517 (A.D. 1123), he was praised as one who was unrivaled in science.
