Al Khwarizmi

He is a famous Persian scholar who has worked in the fields of mathematics, astronomy and geography, He was born in Hive city of Khwarizm region in 780 . Died in Baghdad in 850.

Al-Khwarizmi, who received his basic education in Khwarizm in Khorasan region, learns about the existence of advanced science atmosphere in Baghdad in the early years of his youth. Al-Khwarizmi, who is connected to scientific subjects with a level of insatiable love, comes and settled in Baghdad to realize his ideal of working on scientific subjects . When the Abbasid Caliph Al-Mamun, who was famous for his patronage of scholars in his time, became aware of his knowledge in Al-Khwarizmi, he had enriched the Baghdad Palace Library with works belonging to Ancient Egypt , Mesopotamia , Greek and Ancient Indian civilizations.is assigned in the administration. Later, he was assigned to Beyt'ül Hikmat, a translation academy established to translate foreign works in the Baghdad Palace Library. Thus, Al-Khwarizmi attains all the necessary material and spiritual means to make research and research in Baghdad. Here, away from all the worries about life, he starts his research on mathematics and astronomy.

Al-Khwarizmi, who quickly gained fame in the atmosphere of science in Baghdad, chaired the scientific delegation working in the Kasiyun Observatory in Damascus and the scientific delegation that went to the Sinjar Plain to measure the meridian arc length of the earth, as well as the scientific delegation that went to India through Afghanistan to study Indian mathematics. has also.

al-Kitāb al-mukhtaṣar fī ḥisāb al-jabr wal-muqābala , which is one of the works of Al-Khwarizmi translated into Latin and examines the solutions of equation systems with one unknowns and two unknowns, begins with the following sentence: "Our Algorithm says: Our Lord and Protector Praise be to Allah and good luck ".

He found the binary number system of 2 and 0 (zero), which are the basis of today's computer science and digital electronics.

The word algebra comes from Al-khwarizmi's work "al-Kitāb al-mukhtaṣar fī ḥisāb al-jabr wal-muqābala" (Abstract Book on Algebra and Equation Calculation) .This work is also the first independent algebra book of the east and west. It has the feature.

His work in mathematics has formed the basis of algebra . He found that in India , where there was a period , the digit number system was used instead of letters or syllables to express numbers. Algorithm of the book written by Al-Khwarizmi on this subject was translated into Latin with the name of numerous Indorum, and this system consisting of symbols and zero was presented to the western world in the 12th century. His book called Calculus Algebra wal-muqabila is the first work in the history of mathematics in which systematic solutions of first and second order equations take place. Therefore, Al-Khwarizmi ( along with Diaphanous ) is also known as the "father of algebra". The word "algebra" in English and its Turkish equivalent "algebra", Al-Khwarizmi 'in the book oft comes from "el-algebra", which is one of the methods for solving quadratic equations . The word Algorithm (Eng. "Algorithm") is derived from "Algorithm", which is the Latin equivalent of al-Khwarizmi, and the word "guarism", which means step in Spanish, comes from Khwarizmi. Also, al-Khwarizmi is one of the greatest mathematicians of the world.

His work in mathematics has formed the basis of algebra. He found that in India, where there was a period, the digit number system (see decimal system) was used instead of letters or syllables to express numbers. Algorithm of the book written by Khwarizmi on this subject was translated into Latin under the name of numerous Indorum, this system consisting of symbols and zero was presented to the western world in the 12th century.
