Very nice to see Standford providing lectures for the public for free. Not everyone can afford a Stanford education. Hell! I can't afford any education but I can afford my ISP bill + UA-cam + Standford and other colleges allowing lectures to be shown on UA-cam are a great service to the public and the world over.
I am so glade there are people out there that want to know what is math and what is it for and how we use it. Most people in this world don't really care; however, drawn by pure curiosity I desire to know and discover for pure enjoyment. He is a good teacher.
True but Algebra was already in existence before Muslims in Egypt, India, Greece, China. The term Algebra was given by Europeans. In India it is called Bijganit and predates 6th century. In fact, many ancient countries have own names for Algebra.
@ Aaron Aaron, What an irresponsible reply! Have you read the books of Indian mathematics? I bet you have never! Have you read Bakhshali Script in which Indian traders have used zero for practical use? No, you are just bullshiting! First, give your time in studies!
Thank you so much for this! I'm still struggling to grasp the concept of Algebra. I've passed the class 3 different times, decades apart. Getting ready to take it again this fall. /sigh
Brahmagupta was a discoverer. Other indian mathematicians that rime called him chuda mani or gem among mathematicians. Eyclid was a popularizer but archimedes was a discoverer
Is it just me, or does Professor Devlin look and sound like Doctor Who? The twelfth Doctor played by Peter Capaldi, which in my opinion was the GREATEST Doctor EVER in the entire franchise... He DID seemed a little nervous with the habitual walking back and forth (which was probably due to the fact that he was playing to an audience of his peers on the internet, as well as the fact that he wasn't lecturing to a bunch of 18yo kids he can yell at and make fun of, his audience were full grown adults his age or more). Even so, his mind and explanations we're great, and his ad hoc answers to audience questions were PHENOMENAL Also, great smile and energy. Thank you Professor Devlin... Sorry if I keep expecting a Scottish accent from you...
To comment on some people saying that ALGEBRA was already present in several countries before this book by Mohammad Al-KHARZMI --- AL-GABR O WAL ALQADR. The professor is not saying that KHARZAMI is the inventor of ALGEBRA. All he is talking about that the word ALGEBRA---- first used was by Mohammad Al-Kharzmi in his famous book. But Algebra was already present, with different nations /countries, with different names. But the word--- ALGEBRA was started by MOHAMMAD AL-KHARZEMI. KHARZEMI did not invent ALGEBRA. ----- ALGEBRA- like mathemetics was already known by humanity long time before.
Obviously and Al-Khawarizmi like the scholars of the Islamic golden age refined the knowledge to make it more comprehensible and form the basis for our modern society,it is a basis of modern algebra.
@@mustafaaustinpowers5748yes but they push it forward and invented many new materials. Even if Mathematics actually waited the famous French mathematician François Viète in the 16th century and his décisif invention of massive symbolic notations, to massively take of to radical other level, passing by Fermat, Pascal, Descartes, Newton, Gauss, Euler, Lagrange, Abel, Galois, where modern mathematics fully exploded
oh, thank you, it's easy to understand of a concept of algebra😊😊😊it's really important to explain and summarize concepts of words, orderly, in practicing subjects🌞
1:20:46 Completely voting again after people are eliminated is how the UK Tory party elect their leader in the second stage of the voting process. In Stage Two of the voting process, when a candidate is eliminated, a new election is held by the MPs, and the voting process is repeated until there are only two candidates remaining, at which point the entire Tory party is allowed to vote for the preferred leader. It is interesting to observe that in Stage Two of the process, when certain candidates know that they have plenty of votes, some of them ask certain supporters to not vote for them, and instead vote for opposing candidates that are deemed weak, in order to try to eliminate potential strong opposing candidates.

I really commiserate with the speaker, watching him interact with audience members trying to explain what is going on in higher mathematics. When he tries to explain what is happening in linear algebra and higher algebra (group theory, galois theory, etc) I really felt the twinge of pain in his eye. It's tough to make people understand what mathematics actually is, when their highest notion of algebra is highschool algebra.
Since everyone else is being so technical about peoples origins, then I can say that Fibonacci was not italian. Italy did not even exist. He was from Pisa, its own little entity. Yet we still, for all intents and purposes call people like DaVinci, Fibonacci, The Medici's Italian. Which is sufficient for the type of discourse being presented (I think).
Is there such a thing as a New Englander, or Antatolian, or Iberian? Anyone from the geographic region long known as the Italian Peninsula may be regarded as Italian in the regional sense.
They'd be whatever nationality of their respective nations. Fibonacci was from the Republic of Pisa, Christopher Columbus was from Genova...etc. I don't call myself North American just because I am from the region of North America, I am American (which refers to a citizen of the USA), I not Canadian or Mexican, or even Danish if I was from Greenland.

It is nice but tell me how I can read your lectures in steps series so I can get the knowledge systematically , can understand your lectures to add to my knowledge.
It might be less appreciated because his poetry was not read in Farsi, but perhaps English. The same can be said about some beautiful Arabic poetry that lost some if its beauty after translation.
Arabic culture as we know assimilated Hellenic culture who used the letters of the Greek alphabet to represent numbers. They also absorbed Hindu culture who used the symbols for numbers we used today. Notationally we can see the Eureka moment Arab scholars must've had when translating Greek works into Arabic already having the Hindu-Arabic symbols for their analyses.
Humanity is a continuum . Civilizations borrow from each other and improve. The Greeks borrowed most of their material from the Egyptians, the Arabs from the Greek, the western civilization from the Arabs, and so on. Today we are witnessing (unless you are blind) the rise of the eastern civilizations, China and India... Doesn't matter what you are and I have to think, time moves on, and hatred is poison ... hope you get my point
+E. Elias China and India have both experienced rapid growth in the last decade but it is unsustainable. Their middle classes have ballooned and are demanding ever higher wages and standard of living. The powerhouses of the east cannot afford to be the world's sweatshop for much longer. China have been making huge investments in Africa to help support their growing economy, and this has helped fuel growth there. I think Latin America is also a potential future world leader in scientific research. There is a contagious wave of social and economic reform going on all around South America that I think will lead to an age of enlightenment there.

The word algebra is derived from operations described in the treatise written by the Persian mathematician, Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Ḵhwārizmī, titled Al-Kitab al-Jabr wa-l-Muqabala (meaning "The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing") on the systematic solution of linear and quadratic equations. Al-Khwarizmi is often considered the "father of algebra", for founding algebra as an independent discipline and for introducing the methods of "reduction" and "balancing" (the transposition of subtracted terms to the other side of an equation, that is, the cancellation of like terms on opposite sides of the equation) which was what he originally used the term al-jabr to refer to.[9] His algebra was also no longer concerned "with a series of problems to be resolved, but an exposition which starts with primitive terms in which the combinations must give all possible prototypes for equations, which henceforward explicitly constitute the true object of study." He also studied an equation for its own sake and "in a generic manner, insofar as it does not simply emerge in the course of solving a problem, but is specifically called on to define an infinite class of problems."[10]
I don’t know how STV works, or anything about math but aren’t there a whole lot of other options that need to be accounted for? Example - 7 vote for ABCD, ABDC, ACBD, ACDB, ADBC, ADCB. 6 vote for BACD, BADC, BCAD, BCDA, BDAC, BDCA. And so on. What happens to take these into account?
Yes, there are. His scenarios with millions of people picking, just from 4 of the 64 possible patterns, are so unlikely that one yould have to question either his understanding or intent. He tells the woman who asks if you only vote for candidate A and no lower preferences. That this strengthens her vote for A. This is wrong because lower preferences only apply after A has been eliminated. All it means is that her vote is not transferred to her next choice after A has already lost. It makes no difference to A besause A is already out.
Haha, he mentions at 52:25 that his memory of Jesse Ventura's victory "dates" him. That was 1998. What about his reference earlier on that he got into science because he remembers the Sputnik launch? Now THAT dates him. Lol.
Simple online searches will tell you zero and numbers come from India and zero is from sanskrit shoonya. Muslims had a translation movement which collected and translated many hindu works including initial works on algebra (brahmasphutasiddhanta)
All he meant in saying that algebra is nothing to do with language is that you can give any name you like to an unknown: you can call it x or y or alpha or fred or keith or siwahib - it makes no difference to the algebra!
I have always thought that you should get the number of votes you got. So if you get 10,000 votes in the election then you have 10,000 votes in the parliament. There are many people in parliament for each electorate. Obviously you would need some lower cutoff or there would need some lower cutoff saying you need a minimum member of votes. If your second person was elected then they would get ½ a vote from you. I think that might work better. As an alternative to a minimum number of votes you could say have three candidates for each electorate.
Well, Correct me if I'm wrong but he said it's nothing to do with the language at around 00:05:13, then at around 00:13:45 he mentioned that Algebra is restoration (which comes from the Arabic word al-jabr)!
Algebra has nothing to do with the language?!! The word algebra comes from the Arabic language (الجبر al-jabr "restoration") I can't believe this is Stanford..
The Jesse Ventura reference was funny, no matter who won in that scenario with 3 candidates and a close election then 2/3 of the electorate will always be pissed?
Geometric algebra is/was hampered by the precision of drawings. You can construct the sqrt of every natural number iteratively, but it gets very tedious and You would need acres of paper to get the precision needed by doing iterations. In numeric arithmetic going trough the needed iterations is easier to get to a desired/practical precision. (the Geo_method is Pythagoras: 1²+1² ->sqrt2; (sqrt2)²+1² = 3² ->sqrt3; (sqrt3)²+1² = 4² ->sqrt4 ... just draw a perpendicular Length_1 to the end of the Previous resultLine) Geometry failed because they didn't/couldn't go trough iterative constructions; and We/OurBrains can't do Geometry purely verbally, You need paper and a sharp pencil.
Yes but as the professor mentioned he was of the opinion that it was written in the Arabic language thus it is Arabic. The trend here is that From Babylon, to India, Greece, and Persia it seems that every nation used some sort of Algeria and that Math is always consistent no matter what nation was in power. I would rather think of them as Mathematicians over Persians, Greeks, Italians, Arabs, etc. Also, algebra was always there but we lost and rediscovered 1ir with every nation that was conquered.
what a racist bastard. Arabs and Persians are extremely genetically, phenotypically , and culturally similar, it's like trying to find any substantive difference between a south Korean and Japanese person, aside from the constructed, artificial bullshit. even in the bullshit anthropology categories, Persians are arian Caucasians, and Arabs are Semitic Caucasians. a subcategory within a subcategory; what rubbish.
in fact its now known that there is no distinct genetically Persians or Arabs, seeing as they were both empires at one point you can assume substantial gene flow. Take it from a biologist. These are LINGUISTIC, not genetic differences. now this may blow your mind, but in humans the genetic difference between individuals in a population is more than between one population and another. soo....The variation WITHIN the "Persian" group would be MORE than the variation BETWEEN the Persian group and some other group.
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”
I’m glad this professor in this dem/ woke university has said out loud that if you say who you want to win the election there is a way to count the ballot to guarantee that win.
which was born in iran and died in Iraq. he has an arabic name and books written in arabic because iran was invaded by arab-islamic people. I don't know how people claim him as an arab.
Sonny Darvishzadeh he was not nor Persian and Arab. He was from Khorasan which is old name of Uzbek territory. If al Kharizmi is Persians all Uzbeks are Persian too
How can the speaker speak so long in generalties on a subject in a confusing way without presenting an example to start with on a subject which is so concrete and embedded in numbers?
Been listening for a little while and honestly I am less than completely impressed. At about the halfway point he tells a story about how, in his intro calculus he was the only student who really thought about why calculus formulas work, and everyone else in the class was content to mindlessly move numbers around on paper according to arbitrary rules. I doubt it. He seems to think he is uniquely intelligent and no one else thinks on a deep level but him. It's kind of immature, honestly.
as a noteworthy? first self-funded woman to fly to the International Space Station was a persian. wtf? you can't throw an irrelevant stuff. If you do not see, you're probably blind or you don't want to see, hey why even would you go for such research? there's no need to claim or steal, tell who are doing it, not me.
Geometry is much more fun; so if You can present a second solution, an analog geometrical construction to solve an Arithmetic problem it is more intriguing/attractive to learn, understand and remember. How much effort did the Ancients put into den development of the Antikythera mechanism? How much pride and status did it afford the owner of such a masterpiece!
Zero was for the first time created by Arabic and Muslim mathematecians rather than by Indian mathematecians. The whole Arabic numbers were created using the principle of angles as in the following way: Number zero means there is no angle in the number zero: 0 Number one means there is one angle in the number one: 1 Number two means there are two angles in the number two: z which becomes 2 Number three means there are three angles in the number three such as a standing lettre w which becomes 3 And so on
Arabic Mathematics ??? He was Iranian like 95% others old scientists Avicenna,Frabi,Tussi, Khayyam, Kashi, ,Razi (Alcohol) ,Haytham (blood circulation) Khwarizmi , Banou, Battani, Marwazi , Farisi, Sahl , Wafa, or ,Alhazen . Iranian are not Arabs see .Muslims also are not Arabs . Iranians was forced to become Muslim after the Arab invasion. Arabs Burned the books and were against all knowledge but Koran .Iranian Scientists had to translate their works in Arabic to exist.All this Persian or Iranian knowledge gave birth to "Renaissance" and "Age of Enlightenment" "Siecle des lumières" in Europe. Newton ,Kepler , Descartes, and many others copy their works.Today there is not even one word in the school books about Iranians huge help to the actual science we all are using.Its good to mention 5 Greek philosophers but its also normal to talk about the roots of the sciences. Today Arabs have still no significant impact in science , but they try to furnish their empty science room with Iranian scientists and call it "Islamic Sciences " 2 words that are totally opposite. Saudi Arabia , Qatar or other Arabic countries know better how to buy 5 stars Hotels and Soccer clubs with petrodollars .
Islam is a religion, Arab an ethnicity All Muslims are not Arabs .Indonesians or Malaysians are not Arabs . Berber , Kabyles (population of north Africa are not Arabs . All who talk Arab are not Muslims .In this way all Mexicans are Spanish like most of south American countries. It has no sense.
+Ashish choubey bols show me by facts ,how? what knowledge ? when and how Indian s gave to Persian. I will be curious to learn. Persian ancestors were Sumerians,mess and Assyrians. Not Indians. Indians never invaded Persia.Nader SHah of Persia invaded India in 18th century. So Persian empire influenced India. There are still many Persian words in Indian language. We are talking about very famous Persian scientists around Arabs invasion or Mogul invasion. Pls bring facts dates, names of Indian scientists and references. What exactly was given or brought to Persian scientists ? . ( like Copernic , Descartes, Kepler or Newton who took everything from Persian scientists )
Sheer ignorance on how quadratic equations, geometry, trigonometry and algorithms were formed. Al khaarizmi only translated Indian knowledge and took credit for it. Till he came along Arabs could not count. They could not even write dates and suddenly they had a maths genius who in a span of months solved most equations and brought algorithms. This too when he was more than 50 years old. Till then nobody had heard of him and till then he had no contribution to maths in any form or even basic arithmetic. This is where Islamic propoganda. We Indians won't fall for it. We know the truth.

YNOT post the pdf he's using?
I think the approval technique could be enhanced by using a weight (maybe 1-5) so we know how much we approve of the person.
when i am king, we will have negative votes as well
Well,
Correct me if I'm wrong but he said it's nothing to do with the language at around 00:05:13, then at around 00:13:45 he mentioned that Algebra is restoration (which comes from the Arabic word al-jabr)!
English language
Can’t see the part where you’re pointing to on the board!

Hello Genius researchers,
My 9yrs old daughter asking me yesterday why algebraic formulae is created and how and who?
I see.
Thanks for your comment
How loose was A (the loser) at 1:13:09?😁
Thanks!
Nice post!
Algebra has nothing to do with the language?!!
The word algebra comes from the Arabic language (الجبر al-jabr "restoration")
I can't believe this is Stanford..
Yeah this guy is pretty sloppy.
He meant English language

I recommend you don't leave that electronics exposed like that. House it with plenty of air flow.
+Douglas Allen I like your avatar. Is the little guy etching the part number on the chip?
Is CALCULUS based upon ALGEBRA? OR how CALCULUS & ALGEBRA may be some what inter-related.

Yes
it is
3(12x + 6) = y
is that bells ?
The Jesse Ventura reference was funny, no matter who won in that scenario with 3 candidates and a close election then 2/3 of the electorate will always be pissed?
Geometric algebra is/was hampered by the precision of drawings. You can construct the sqrt of every natural number iteratively, but it gets very tedious and You would need acres of paper to get the precision needed by doing iterations. In numeric arithmetic going trough the needed iterations is easier to get to a desired/practical precision. (the Geo_method is Pythagoras: 1²+1² ->sqrt2; (sqrt2)²+1² = 3² ->sqrt3; (sqrt3)²+1² = 4² ->sqrt4 ... just draw a perpendicular Length_1 to the end of the Previous resultLine)
Geometry failed because they didn't/couldn't go trough iterative constructions; and We/OurBrains can't do Geometry purely verbally, You need paper and a sharp pencil.
Interesting.
Good..
He wasn't Arab, he was Persian.
+Ztech ....hey, hey, hey ...a rare accuracy award to u ....only able to find that info in old math tombs...
Yes but as the professor mentioned he was of the opinion that it was written in the Arabic language thus it is Arabic. The trend here is that From Babylon, to India, Greece, and Persia it seems that every nation used some sort of Algeria and that Math is always consistent no matter what nation was in power. I would rather think of them as Mathematicians over Persians, Greeks, Italians, Arabs, etc. Also, algebra was always there but we lost and rediscovered 1ir with every nation that was conquered.
Kwharzimi was Persian.
He was from Uzbekistan go to google map if you don’t know the map, Khorasan is old name of Uzbekistan territory.....
@yout tube you are very wrong.
The birth of algebra come from aljaber ibn hayaan Arabic and Muslim man .
8 year old example of internet already being suspect for quality information.
his name in arabic is Aljabr ibn Hayyan ..... He was an arab and Muslim guy
Ghassen Smaoui Mohammad Ibn Musa Al-Khwarazimi. Aljabr ibn Hayyan is chemist
what a racist bastard. Arabs and Persians are extremely genetically, phenotypically , and culturally similar, it's like trying to find any substantive difference between a south Korean and Japanese person, aside from the constructed, artificial bullshit. even in the bullshit anthropology categories, Persians are arian Caucasians, and Arabs are Semitic Caucasians. a subcategory within a subcategory; what rubbish.
in fact its now known that there is no distinct genetically Persians or Arabs, seeing as they were both empires at one point you can assume substantial gene flow. Take it from a biologist. These are LINGUISTIC, not genetic differences. now this may blow your mind, but in humans the genetic difference between individuals in a population is more than between one population and another.
soo....The variation WITHIN the "Persian" group would be MORE than the variation BETWEEN the Persian group and some other group.
From Babylon, Greece, China, Indian, conclusively synthesised the concept by Muslim world.
someone needs to pour this guy a drink...
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”
I don't think that's what he was talking about.
I’m glad this professor in this dem/ woke university has said out loud that if you say who you want to win the election there is a way to count the ballot to guarantee that win.
which was born in iran and died in Iraq. he has an arabic name and books written in arabic because iran was invaded by arab-islamic people.
I don't know how people claim him as an arab.
Sonny Darvishzadeh he was not nor Persian and Arab. He was from Khorasan which is old name of Uzbek territory. If al Kharizmi is Persians all Uzbeks are Persian too

I love the name Stanford. Must be an Amazing place to Study.
you use algebra to make your spreadsheet. then the machine does the arithmetic for you.
+djhbrown Precisely. I think of them as pigeon-hole calculators.
How can the speaker speak so long in generalties on a subject in a confusing way without presenting an example to start with on a subject which is so concrete and embedded in numbers?

Amazing Ike my screen name isn't a sentence

Been listening for a little while and honestly I am less than completely impressed. At about the halfway point he tells a story about how, in his intro calculus he was the only student who really thought about why calculus formulas work, and everyone else in the class was content to mindlessly move numbers around on paper according to arbitrary rules. I doubt it. He seems to think he is uniquely intelligent and no one else thinks on a deep level but him. It's kind of immature, honestly.
Papyrus? yuck!

Kharazmi was a Persian mathematician
He lived in Bagdad and speaked arabic and Iran at that time was controlled by Arabic people then he is Arabic
Work this one out
3(4x + 2) =
AZZA 12x+6
👍🏾👍🏾
Based on the arabic scolar Jaber bin Hayyan
He was PERSIAN not Arab! He only wrote in Arabic.
The teacher plays in a Pink Floyd cover band on the weekends.
Hey, teacher, leave those kids alone!
👍🏻
as a noteworthy?
first self-funded woman to fly to the International Space Station was a persian. wtf? you can't throw an irrelevant stuff. If you do not see, you're probably blind or you don't want to see, hey why even would you go for such research?
there's no need to claim or steal, tell who are doing it, not me.

India's contributions to mathematics were ignored, what a pity
Geometry is much more fun; so if You can present a second solution, an analog geometrical construction to solve an Arithmetic problem it is more intriguing/attractive to learn, understand and remember.
How much effort did the Ancients put into den development of the Antikythera mechanism? How much pride and status did it afford the owner of such a masterpiece!
Zero was for the first time created by Arabic and Muslim mathematecians rather than by Indian mathematecians.
The whole Arabic numbers were created using the principle of angles as in the following way:
Number zero means there is no angle in the number zero: 0
Number one means there is one angle in the number one: 1
Number two means there are two angles in the number two: z which becomes 2
Number three means there are three angles in the number three such as a standing lettre w which becomes 3
And so on
Arabic Mathematics ??? He was Iranian like 95% others old scientists Avicenna,Frabi,Tussi, Khayyam, Kashi, ,Razi (Alcohol) ,Haytham (blood circulation) Khwarizmi , Banou, Battani, Marwazi , Farisi, Sahl , Wafa, or ,Alhazen . Iranian are not Arabs see .Muslims also are not Arabs . Iranians was forced to become Muslim after the Arab invasion. Arabs Burned the books and were against all knowledge but Koran .Iranian Scientists had to translate their works in Arabic to exist.All this Persian or Iranian knowledge gave birth to "Renaissance" and "Age of Enlightenment" "Siecle des lumières" in Europe. Newton ,Kepler , Descartes, and many others copy their works.Today there is not even one word in the school books about Iranians huge help to the actual science we all are using.Its good to mention 5 Greek philosophers but its also normal to talk about the roots of the sciences. Today Arabs have still no significant impact in science , but they try to furnish their empty science room with Iranian scientists and call it "Islamic Sciences " 2 words that are totally opposite. Saudi Arabia , Qatar or other Arabic countries know better how to buy 5 stars Hotels and Soccer clubs with petrodollars .
But the language is Arabic so it will called Arabic or Islamic
+FlexedUp TrueReligion no the original language is Persian not Arabic. Arabic had even no alphabet before invading Persia.
Islam is a religion, Arab an ethnicity All Muslims are not Arabs .Indonesians or Malaysians are not Arabs .
Berber , Kabyles (population of north Africa are not Arabs .
All who talk Arab are not Muslims .In this way all Mexicans are Spanish like most of south American countries. It has no sense.
what you forgot to mention that Iranian got the knowledge from India.So,the Indian knowledge was being complied by them.
+Ashish choubey bols show me by facts ,how? what knowledge ? when and how Indian s gave to Persian. I will be curious to learn. Persian ancestors were Sumerians,mess and Assyrians. Not Indians. Indians never invaded Persia.Nader SHah of Persia invaded India in 18th century. So Persian empire influenced India. There are still many Persian words in Indian language. We are talking about very famous Persian scientists around Arabs invasion or Mogul invasion.
Pls bring facts dates, names of Indian scientists and references. What exactly was given or brought to Persian scientists ? . ( like Copernic , Descartes, Kepler or Newton who took everything from Persian scientists )
Sheer ignorance on how quadratic equations, geometry, trigonometry and algorithms were formed. Al khaarizmi only translated Indian knowledge and took credit for it. Till he came along Arabs could not count. They could not even write dates and suddenly they had a maths genius who in a span of months solved most equations and brought algorithms. This too when he was more than 50 years old. Till then nobody had heard of him and till then he had no contribution to maths in any form or even basic arithmetic. This is where Islamic propoganda. We Indians won't fall for it. We know the truth.

Algebra was made by Muslim scientist ..
The camera idea also made by Muslim ( Alhazen )
keep talking to yourself.
Yeah, but look at his hair!!!
