		Khwarizmi is regarded as one of the outstanding scientific figures and his contribution in the fields of Mathematics, astronomy and geography are inarguable.
		Khwarizmi believed in an ordered universe which is evident from his opening of his book.
		Khwarizmi's book on arithmetic was translated into Latin and published in Rome in 1857 by Prince Baldassare Boncompagni and appears as part 1 of a volume entitled Tratti d' aritmetica.

		Today we have the Arabic writings of Al Khwarizmi who is considered as one of the most important Islam innovators and the first medieval algebraist.
		Al Khwarizmi became a member of Dar-ul Hikme which means the house of wisdom, a kind of academy of scientists founded in Baghdad most probably by Caliph Kharun Rhasid.
		Today one can see Al Khwarizmi's influence not only in the philosophy and scientific history but also in mathematical texts that were written in the centuries after him.

		Muhammad ibn Musa Khwarizmi (780-850 CE), from Khwarizm (now Khiva), south of the `Arab Lake,' was the greatest scientist of his time, working in mathematics, geography, and astronomy.
		Khwarizmi gave the value of pi thus: 'If a circle has a diameter of 7, it has a circumference of: 22'[14] This is an approximation accurate to about 1 in a thousand.
		[31] On top of Al Khwarizmi's achievements referred to already, and amongst other things, he introduced a method similar to long division to extract the square root (jithr) of a number.

		The work of two mathematicians from the period was featured in the presentation, the first being al-Khwarizmi.
		Al- Khwarizmi classified three types of quantities and six types of equations, and developed systematic methods of solving each type of equation.
		An example from his text was presented in which he found a solution to a quadratic equation using the Babylonian method of completing the square.

		The word "algebra," like the subject, is a consequence of the intellectual ferment that occurred in Baghdad during the ninth century reign of Caliph al-Ma'mun (813-33).
		The "Father of Algebra" is generally acknowledged to be Abu Ja'far Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi, born in approximately 786 C.E. Some historians speculate that his name may indicate that he came from the Khwarizmi region, south of the Aral Sea in central Asia.
		Al-Khwarzimi was born at a time of great cultural and scientific development in the Islamic world.

	Quadratic equation formula (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-22)
		Even so, our teachers were under some pressure of time, because of examinations, and to the best of my memory this is why we were told to memorise the quadratic equation formula instead of being led gently through the proof.
		Let us see how Al Khwarizmi leads us through this knot in the Islamic garden of medieval mathematics, and notice on the way how geometry forms the paths in the garden, leading us through the dancing flowers of symbols, signs and formulae.
		The interested reader may now obtain the modern formula from Al Khwarizmi's formula by dividing the starting equation (ax² + bx - c = 0) through by a and then substituting the resulting coefficients (the a, b and c terms) into Al Khwarizmi's formula.

		Famous as the father of Algebra, he was born about 780AD near Baghdad, and lived until about 850AD.
		Al- Khwarizmi settled in Baghdad which was under the caliphates of al-Ma`mun and al-Mu'tasim in what is considered to be the first Golden Age of Muslim science He produced his most important work in about 830, and called it Kitab al-jabr wa’l-muqabala, or the Book of Restoring and Balancing.
		It dealt with "what is easiest and most useful." From the term “al-jabr,” translating as "restoring," in the title, we get “algebra” which was the way the term was translated into Latin in the 12th century.

		The book on Hindu numeration above is what established "zero" as the invention from India, since the author declared it to be so.
		One may wonder how people computed in Roman numerals but they did, and Khwarizmi's book created a sensation.
		"Algorithm" is merely the Latin version of Al Khwarizmi's name.

		The passage mentioning Argus, the noble counter, BD 434-442, is a paraphrase of RR 12790-12810.
		The French variant is derived from algorism, a development of al-Khwarizmi, which means in Arabic the Khwarizmian or the man from Khwarizmi.
		Nicholas has placed his augrim or arithmetic stones, marked with the numerals of algorism, neatly spaced on shelves above his bed's heads, MillT 3210.
