MUHAMMAD BIN MUSA


ALKHWARZIMI(THE GREAT
MUSLIM
MATHEMATICIAN)

FATHER OF ALGEBRA
Abdallah 2

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) stated, “Seeking

knowledge is a duty on every Muslim” (Bukhari) [23]. Thus, there

are many Muslim scholars who were keen on doing their part. From

the 9th-15th century,, Muslims from different parts of the world have

contributed to the development of mathematics. . The two main

sources the Muslims translated were the works of the Hindus and the

Greeks. Thabit ibn Qurra, a Muslim mathematician, translated the

works written by Euclid, Archimedes, Apollonius, Ptolemy, and

Eutocius. In Baghdad during 810 A.D, he also founded The House of

Wisdom, a school which was dedicated to translating books from

Greek to Arabic and also creating commentaries on these books.

Thanks to these translations, the knowledge of the ancient Greek

texts has survived to this day.


Muslim mathematicians have made
significant contributions to different parts
of mathematics including algebra,
geometry, trigonometry, calculus,
arithmetic, and so on. The number system
and decimal point we use today comes
from the Islamic world. . They are also
responsible for the invention of sine and
cosine, the ruler, and the compass.

Al-Khwarizmi on Algebra
.

Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi


was born around 780 AD in Baghdad
and died around 850 AD. He was a
Muslim mathematician and
astronomer, who was known for his
major contribution on Hindu-Arabic
numerals and concepts in algebra,
which we will discuss in more detail.
Al-Khwarizmi was one of the first to
use zero as a place holder in positional
base notation. The word algorithm
actually derives from his name. Al-
Khwarizmi was most known for his
book on elementary algebra, Al-Kitāb
AlMukhtaṣar fī Hisāb Al-Jabr Waʾl-
muqābala (“The Compendious Book
on Calculation by Completion and
Balancing”) which is considered one of
the first books to be written on algebra
Basic Ideas
in Al-Khwarizmi’s Algebra According to Al-Khwarizmi, there
are three types of quantities: simple numbers (which we
would refer to today as natural numbers), such as 1, 18, and
105; root numbers, which he considers an unknown values
and calls them “things” (which we would denote today as 𝑥);
and wealth, which is the square of the root or unknown, also
known as mal. This is usually denoted as 𝑥 2 . Also, he states
the six basic types of equations as:

1)Roots equal numbers(𝑛𝑥 = 𝑚).

2)Wealth equal roots (𝑥 2 = 𝑛𝑥).

3)Wealth equal numbers (𝑥2 = 𝑚).

4)Numbers and wealth equal roots (𝑚 + 𝑥 2 = 𝑛𝑥).

5)Numbers equal roots and wealth (𝑚 = 𝑛𝑥 + 𝑥 2).

6)Wealth equals numbers and roots (𝑥2 = 𝑚 + 𝑛𝑥).


Example 1: Solve 𝑥 2 + 21 = 10𝑥

Solution: The first procedure Al-Khwarizmi uses in


solving this problem is , where he first halves the
number of roots, where he receives 5. He then
multiplies 5 by itself, where he receives 25. Next,
he subtracts 21 from this product, where he
receives 4. Further, he takes the square root of 4,
where he obtains 2, and subtracts that from 5,
where he then receives 3.
10/ 2 − √( 10/ 2 ) 2 − 21
In his second procedure, he takes the exact same
steps as in procedure 1, however, this time instead
of taking half the roots and subtracting, he takes
half the roots and adds this time. This yields the
following expression, .
5 + √(5 )2 − 21

The solution to yields 7. In this procedure, he refers to the 10 as “the

number of roots”, and 21 as the simple number.

Al-Khwarizmi describes the general solution of any quadratic

equation of type 4 (as shown above), where n represents the number of


2

roots and m represents any number as the following…

𝑛/ 2 ± √( 𝑛/ 2 ) 2 − m

He stated that there were no solutions whenever he received a number less than
zero under the

square root. Nowadays, we call these numbers imaginary. He also acknowledges

that when the number under the square root is equal to zero, then only one

solution exists. Also, whenever Al-

Khwarizmi had a coefficient in front of 𝑝𝑥 2, he would divide by p, obtaining.


𝑥 2 + ( 𝑚 /𝑝 ) = ( n/p ) 𝑥

NOW let,s see geometric proof from an example .


:
𝑝 𝑝
(X+3)2=27+9
(X+3)2=36
((X+3)=6
X=3
zero
