Abu Ja'far Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi (c. 780-850) was an Arabic mathematician whose book Hisab al-jabr w'al muqabalah (c.825) described the use of Hindu-Arabic numerals and the rules of basic arithmetic.
The second word of the book's title gives rise to the English word Algebra, and the word Algorithm is derived from al-Khwarizmi's name.
