Isn’t it funny how they avoided mentioning his religion? I bet it would have been mentioned if he did something wrong😂

This man needs more recognition in the West. His contribution was immense. And that's coming from someone who hated algebra in school :)

Brings to mind what Newton had to say about his achievements 'If I have seen further it is because I have stood on the shoulders of giants'. Our current tools and discoveries would not have been possible without contributions from men like Muhammad al-Khwarizmi and many others who go largely unrecognized.

People should appreciate a man's work, his ethics were in place, gave credit where it belonged, left his work for us, give credit to him for his contributions and improve upon his work. That's how world works.

When is see the word Algebra the first person that comes to my mind is Al-Kharazmi. This person plays the bigger role in creation of Algebra and Algorithm. I'm from Uzbekistan and I really appreciate this person. Thank you BBC Ideas

Proud to have such a genius, lot of others like him in Uzbekistan should be taken into consideration, true example of legend in islam . One thing that makes me feel sad is we are just proud of him , and I don't know why we, specifically Uzbeks , are not trying to be corresponding to those who helped to the world to become better place (by the help of God). Anyhow! lovely wishes from Uzbekistan 🇺🇿🇵🇸

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.

Another famous Persian mathematician was Omar Khayyam. He is more well known for his poetry, but he was also a person who contributed much to mathematics, astronomy, and philosophy. People forget, or don't even know, how much the Middle East contributed to modern society.

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.
