Mohammed Ben Musa
Persian mathematician Mohammed ben Musa (c.780–c.850) is considered to be one of the fathers of algebra. His Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing gave us the word 'algebra' and introduced modern algebraic methods. This is the 1831 translation into English by the orientalist Friedrich August Rosen (1805–37).
