Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi was a 9th century Persian mathematician, astronomer and geographer who lived in Baghdad and worked at the House of Wisdom. He authored several influential books, including Al-Jabr, which introduced algebra to the Western world and the term itself is derived from the book's title. Al-Khwarizmi also developed algorithms, standardized arithmetic operations using Hindu-Arabic numerals, and assisted in mapping the world, cementing his role as a founder of algebra and algorithm development.
