The most famous Muslim scholar Al-Khwarizmi

Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi, a respected Muslim astronomer and mathematician, was born in 780 AD and breathed his life in 850 AD.  During the reign of Caliph al-Ma'mun he was a member of the House of Wisdom in Baghdad.  Among his many accomplishments, his most notable contributions include translating scientific and philosophical manuscripts, conducting original research, and authoring several books on mathematics.  It should be noted that his work in my book, The Brief in Calab Algebra and Al Muqabala, provides valuable insights into solving linear and quadratic equations.
His contribution to the world of mathematics was enormous, as his book Arithmetic in Indian Numerals played an important role in bringing Indian numerals to the Middle East and Europe.  Many of his works have been translated into Latin and Algorithms are named in his honour.  Al-Khwarizmi's proficiency in algebra enabled him to solve inheritance problems with ease, using methods in line with Islamic law.
