Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī


Born
Afrighid dynasty of Khwarazm

(perhaps 780 to perhaps 850)

Works of Persian astronomer al-Khwarizmi, fully named Muhammad ibn-Musa al-Khwarizmi, introduced Arabic numerals and algebraic concepts to western mathematics; from his name derives the word algorithm.

This polymath produced vastly influential works in geography. Around 820, people appointed him as the head of the library of the house of wisdom in Baghdad.
