Al-Khwarizmi (Muhammed ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi)

Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi was a Persian mathematician, astronomer, and scholar from the 9th century, often called the "father of algebra." His work introduced systematic methods for solving equations, and his book on calculations gave rise to the term "algorithm." He played a key role in translating and expanding Greek and Indian mathematical knowledge, making it accessible in the Islamic world and later in Europe. Al-Khwarizmi's ideas laid the foundation for modern algebra, algorithms, and computational mathematics, significantly impacting science, technology, and mathematics today.
