The Legacy of Al-Khwārazmı̄ in History of Algebra
摘要
Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārazmı̄ is today arguably the most well-known medieval Arabic mathematician. His significant work on arithmetic, algebra, and astronomical tables were written in Baghdad in the first half of the third/ninth century. This paper traces the impact of al-Khwārazmı̄’s Kitāb al-jabr wa-l-muqābala (Book of algebra) on the field of algebra.
