Al-Khwarizmi Writes Al-Jabr (Algebra)

Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi wrote al-Kitab al-Mukhtasar fi Hisab al-Jabr wal-Muqabalah, founding the discipline of algebra. Working at the House of Wisdom in Baghdad, al-Khwarizmi also introduced Hindu-Arabic numerals to the Islamic world and developed the concept of the algorithm, named after him.
