So he did not invent or discover algebra per se? According to your link he can claim the raising of a number to a power... Them men from the Far East are still pawning you.

Toxicbunny is correct.
Algebra is a composition made by various contributors to mathematics. The Islamic Arab Empire also gained much, thanks to the Greeks when it comes to their own contribution towards mathematics. Mathematics are principles and standards which always evolves and resolves, the mathematicians and philosophers debate, no consensus.

Oi! Leave me out of this...
No, they were arabic works, which were probably plagiarised off stuff from the Far East anyway.
THe Muslim empire under the caliph there were many empires under the mulims, Arab/ persion/ moghul/ ottoman etc
Ah but the arabians used the decimeal and arabic numeral system which changed math forever

Pension if you are referring to the current financial system in the sense of the Monetary and Banking system of today I would most certainly not be proud if a Muslim invented it or had a hand in it. Interest is basically the core of the entire monetary system as it stands and that makes me angry more than proud that a Muslim could figure out how to keep people enslaved for the rest of their lives.

People used their hands to dig their own holes, now they use shovels to accelerate their own demise. You must turn over the mathematical system, it reads, "made in China my bru".

Pension is responding out of retaliation to marine1's post, most likely without researching too well first so best to leave that discussion.

To a degree I agree with you Fury, but some assertions do need to be challenged...
Especially this "Stole the arabic numeral" rubbish he is peddling.

Understood, but he made a clear statement:
Mathematics in its existence are unique, Babylonian, Egyptian, Greek, Chinese, Indian and Islamic, all contributed, but Algebra, decimals and numeral system are pretty much introduced by the Chinese.
You are right, enough on this topic.

/back to Woolworth Stores...
Im refering to the development of finance as a whole. The works of Fabinocci are based on the arabian under the muslim empires rule. From their the europeans built a new financial system over 900 years which is what we know today.
Did you know the word Bank orginates from the italian word banca which means bench. These benches are where the jewish money lenders used to sit and lend money. Please remember that under christian rule, christian were not allowed by law to borrow money to other christians and charge interest.
I find it ridiculous how people refuse to aknowledge the contribution the islamic empires made on the world. PLease remember that this great growth in knowledge by the arabs are purely because of the growth of the empire and the mixing of knowledge. I do not deny that the arabs used previous works. I just want to elaborate how much impact the muslim empires had on the world we no today.
Please prove what the chinese did.
I agree lets move to the Woolworths. Please do not derail the topic.
