Āryabhaṭa did not give the algorithm the name Kuṭṭaka, and his description of the method was mostly obscure and incomprehensible. It was Bhāskara I (c. 600 - c. 680) who gave a detailed description of the algorithm with several examples from astronomy in his Āryabhatiyabhāṣya, who gave the algorithm the name Kuṭṭaka....

Al kharazmi balanced the algebra equation, quadratic, and found solutions using algorithm similar to the one computer program uses to find solutions, finding solution by balancing the two sides of an equation. This is in his book on Algebra Algebr Al Muqabla. Muslim mathematician discovered the basis of modern day mathematics, their contributed immensely to trigonometry, geometry, algebra. Ratio and proportions. Even Fibonacci is a byproduct of the house of wisdom. Mongols burned Muslim libraries, their actual contribution far exceeds what Muslims are given credit for. Renaissance followed the Muslim golden age.

[@richardberryhill718]

While it is true that Mongols burned libraries, the crusaders burned far more libraries, while the Catholic Church forbade learning and study that contradicted the teachings of the Church. Galelio and others like him had to hide their real conclusions on fear of horrible torture and death for heresy. Good and rather historical movie is “Name of the Rose.” Bottom line is that the greatest damage to learning, knowledge, and relations between Islam and Christianity was done by the Crusaders who raped, pillaged, murdered, tortured, and burned their way through Europe to occupy the Holy Land.

[@berndheiden7630]

@@richardberryhill718When we are taking a short and limited glimpse into the history of burning libraries we have to look at the library of Alexandria. And without denying the contributions of the middle east (Mesopotamia and Persia) to writing and mathematics the library of Alexandria was burned down by moslem troops after asking their Mullahs how to deal with it. Their answer was: „If the books contradict the Quran you burn them and if they say the same as the Quran they are superfluous, so burn them too!“ This is how most of the knowledge of old age was lost.

[@richardberryhill718]

@@berndheiden7630 The account of Muslims burning the library is almost certainly incorrect, as incorrect as, possibly, my account. Checking with the Brains of the Universe, Chat GPT says it is not clear who burned it, perhaps Ceaser, perhaps Aurelian in 270 CE. But the fact remains that the immense knowledge of the early Islamic community was unequaled, but suppressed by the Catholic Church, and the horrible actions of the Crusaders created an enemy in Islam that is the foundation for the problems we now face.

[@etherion4504]

​@@berndheiden7630The fate of that great wealth of books remains provocative and controversial. For centuries the main point of contention was whether or not the library (or libraries-as two sites existed) survived until the Arab conquest of Alexandria in the 7th century. In the 21st century, however, the topic has cooled down, and there is growing agreement among serious scholars that both libraries had both perished long before the Arab conquest. Scholars further believe that there is enough evidence to show that the destruction of the two libraries occurred at different times. In 642 the Arab general ʿAmr ibn al-ʿĀṣ conquered Egypt and occupied Alexandria. The events of the early Arab conquests were recorded by historians from several sides, including Arabs, Copts, and Byzantines. For more than five centuries after the conquest, there was no mention of and not a single reference to any accident related to an Alexandrian library under the Arabs. Suddenly, early in the 13th century appears an account reported by Ibn al-Qifṭī and other Arab authors describing how ʿAmr had burned the books of the ancient Library of Alexandria. The story has a fictitious flavour and has repeatedly been criticized, notably by 18th-century British historian Edward Gibbon, and it has since been proved to be a 12th-century fabrication. Two questions arise from that circumstance: What happened in the 12th century that suddenly aroused interest in the fate of the Library of Alexandria and further led to an accusation that ʿAmr was the culprit? Why, after a total silence of more than eight centuries after the destruction of the Serapeum, should Ibn al-Qifṭī be so anxious to record such a story in full detail?

The video mentions Al-Khwarizmi's Persian origin while neglecting his affiliation with the Abbasid Caliphate, it's important to highlight that his discoveries were significantly supported by the Abbasid Caliphate, notably by Caliph Al-Mamun. Al-Khwarizmi's pivotal role in leading Bait Alhikma, the scientific institution under the Abbasid Caliphate, contributed immensely to his achievements. While acknowledging his Persian origin is relevant, it's equally crucial to recognize the context of his work within the Arabic Abbasid Caliphate.

Most of the respected books in Mathematics and Computer Science still mentions Al-Khwarizmi within the first few pages. From "Algorithms" by Dasgupta, Vazirani (page 2): "Al-Khwarizmi, a man who lived in Bagdad in the ninth century wrote a textbook in Arabic. Al-Khwarizmi laid out the basic methods for adding, multiplying and dividing numbers -- even extracting square roots and calculating digits of π. These procedures were precise, unambiguous , mechanical, efficient, correct -- in short, they were **algorithms**, a term coined to honor the wise man after the decimal system was finally adopted in Europe, many centuries later." From "Artificial Intelligence, A modern Approach" by Peter Norvig (page 9): The word algorithm comes from **Muhammad Ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi**, a 9th century mathematician, whose writings introduced Arabic numerals and algebra to Europe." From "Mathematics and history " by John Stillwell: The word "algebra" comes from the Arabic word "al-jabr" meaning "restoring". It passed into bonesetting through the book "Al-jabr w'al muqabala" of al-khwarizmi in 830 C.E, a work on the solution of equations. Al-khwarizmi's own name has given us hte word "algorithm", so his work had a lasting impact on mathematics , even though its content was quite elementary.

Indian Mathematics is predominantly algorithmic. In fact, the very word “Algorithm” is derived from the name of Al Khwarizmi (c. 9th Century) whose works played a crucial role in the transmission of Indian algorithmic procedures to the Islamic and later to the Western world. We shall discuss a few selected algorithms that are representative of the Indian mathematical tradition from the ancient Śulbasūtrās to the medieval texts of the Kerala School. In particular, we shall outline some of the constructions described in the Śulbasūtrās, the algorithm for computing the cube-root given by Āryabhaṭa (c.499) and the kuṭṭaka and cakraväla algorithms for solving linear and quadratic indeterminate equations as discussed by Āryabhaṭa (c.499), Brahmagupta (c.628), Jayadeva (prior to the 11th century) and Bhāskara (c.1150). We shall also discuss the efficient algorithms for accurate computation of Π and the sine function due to Mādhava (c.14th century) as discussed in the texts of the Kerala School of Mathematics and Astronomy.

@@mohammadbaqer8305 it isn't anger, like, why should I be angry. I simply disagree with OP,s statement. Al-Kwarizmi's works were revolutionary and I certainly don't downplay that part. But given the circumstance how it affected the way we formed our entire understanding of this world around the theory, his works amounted to little for centuries. Only in the hands of man like Euler (Trigonometric functions), Newton (Mechanics), Einstein (Theory of Relativity) and Leeuwenhoek (Microbiological studies), did Al-Kwarizmi's work finally gain recognition as a means to an end. Hence why I stated Newton as more important, because Newton and his works surrounding the laws of Physics, especially the correlation between matter, motion and force, revolutionize the way we view and observe the abstract phenomena in todays world. Which in turn altered the way we viewed our universe, our solar system, our own planet and the entire history of this universe. Aristotle as a second,. because he was philosopher first and foremost, but his book Organon (which encompasses 6 books), is the foundation of Reason, and established the methods of logical argument that up until the 18th century were vital in professional investigation. Because Organon contained a dialectic and Methods that were concerned in coming to a conclusion to the means of observation.

In todays terms would have got 2 Nobel Prizes. On the Calculation with Hindu Numerals, written about 820, was principally responsible for spreading the Hindu-Arabic numeral system throughout the Middle East and Europe. It was translated into Latin as Algoritmi de numero Indorum. Al-Khwārizmī, rendered as (Latin) Algoritmi, led to the term "algorithm". Less known fact : Later it was Fibonacci popularized the Indo-Arabic numeral system in the Western world primarily through his composition in 1202 of Liber Abaci (Book of Calculation). Fibonacci introduced the so-called modus Indorum (method of the Indians), today known as the Hindu-Arabic numeral system, with ten digits including a zero and positional notation.

“Al-Khwarizmi’s scientific achievements were at best mediocre, but they were uncommonly influential,” says Toomer in the Dictionary of Scientific Biography. The concept of algorithm (sequential steps in a calculation) was hardly the invention of al- Khwārizmī, the idea goes back to practically all ancient civilizations that did Math. The word "algorithm" just comes from the Latin title of a book al- Khwārizmī wrote in Arabic about Hindu-Arabic numerals; the Latin translation of the book title was Algoritmi de numero Indorum (in English Al-Khwarizmi on the Hindu Art of Reckoning). Al- Khwārizmī is hardly responsible for the computer. The real pioneer of modern algebra and of algorithms was Diophantus with his famous 13 books called Arithmetica that (600 years before al- Khwārizmī) introduced symbolic manipulations. Al- Khwārizmī used only words in sentences to contribute fairly minor results about what amounts to certain 1st and 2ond order equations.

"Al Khwarizmi" soon became the name of his writings (scrolls at 780 CE...), certainly the most advanced math treaty of its time. Arguably, Al Khwarizmi gave birth to math. Much later, when his book reached Europe, three of the general concepts were named after the book, hence "Algarismo" in some Latin languages (for each numeric character in a number), "algebra" and "algorithm". While writing this, It looks like English has no word to differentiate "number" (any number) and "number" (each indo-arabic character within a number) - or am I missing a word? Today's "digit" is the closest, but that likely started with modern use of typewriters where one finger (digit) pushed corresponds to a single imprint = a single character = one lead "type" imprint, in printing press terminology, .

Interestingly The ancient Indian “Bakhshali” manuscript, which has been carbon dated to 3rd century CE, is an ancient Hindu treatise on Arithmetic and Algebra. The Algebraic problems deal with simultaneous equations, quadratic equations, arithmetic geometric progressions & quadratic indeterminate equations. “Bakhshali” isn’t earliest Indian Algebraic treatise. Early Algebra is found in “Shulba Sutras” (Sutra in Indian literary traditions refers to an aphorism or a collection of aphorisms in the form of a manual or, more broadly, a condensed manual or text.) dating back to at least 800 BC. Traditional Algebra reached its pinnacle in the works of Mathematicians and Astronomers of India like Aryabhata & Bhaskara. What makes Bakhshali special is it offers mathematical proof to its theories. Henry Thomas Colebrooke was a historian and Mathematicians. Writing in 1817, Colebrook came to the conclusion that Khwarizmi owed his Algebra to ancient Indian Vedic Hindus. After carefully examining the works of Khawarizmi and ancient Hindu mathematical texts, Colebrooke concludes: “The inevitable conclusion is that Khawarizmi, being conversant with the sciences of Hindus, must have learnt Algebra from Hindus” Another European Mathematician, Pietro Cossali also came to the same conclusion after diligent research. He says: “Khwarizmi was skilled in Indian tongue and fond of Indian matters. He translated Indian works He was first instructor of Mμslims in Algebra” Cossali continues “Not having taken Algebra from Greeks, Khwarizmi must have either invented it himself or taken it from Indians. The latter (taking Algebra from Indians) seems more probable”

[@Omaditya_BHU]

Al khwarizmi's book " Concerning the Hindu Art of Reckoning" which became the basis of algorithms , is just the arabic translation of the book written by Bramhagupta, a Hindu Mathematician who lived around a century before Al-Khwarizmi . So what Al-Khwarizmi did was just he introduced Brahmgupta's theory in Arabic and it came in contact with Europeans. Basically what is called The 'Hindu-Arabic' number system is just the Hindu number system adopted by Arabs and later Europeans

Indian Mathematics is predominantly algorithmic. In fact, the very word “Algorithm” is derived from the name of Al Khwarizmi (c. 9 th Century) whose works played a crucial role in the transmission of Indian algorithmic procedures to the Islamic and later to the Western world. We shall discuss a few selected algorithms that are representative of the Indian mathematical tradition from the ancient Śulbasūtrās to the medieval texts of the Kerala School. In particular, we shall outline some of the constructions described in the Śulbasūtrās, the algorithm for computing the cube-root given by Āryabhaṭa (c.499) and the kuṭṭaka and cakraväla algorithms for solving linear and quadratic indeterminate equations as discussed by Āryabhaṭa (c.499), Brahmagupta (c.628), Jayadeva (prior to the 11 th century) and Bhāskara (c.1150). We shall also discuss the efficient algorithms for accurate computation of Π and the sine function due to Mādhava (c.14 th century) as discussed in the texts of the Kerala School of Mathematics and Astronomy.
