Science in a Golden Age - Al-Khwarizmi: The Father of Algebra

  • Опубликовано: 16 авг 2024
  • From fast cars and aeroplanes to computer encryption - mathematics underpins so much of modern life. In this episode, Jim Al-Khalili uncovers how, between the 9th and 14th centuries, mathematicians from the Islamic world helped mathematicise science and lay the foundations of algebra. He looks at the modern mathematics behind flight, and behind the record-breaking fastest car in the world, tracing the route back from these achievements to the legacy of the Persian mathematician Al Khwarizmi. We also discover the role that the Islamic world played in giving us the modern numeral system that we take for granted in everyday life. And, in the Sulemaniye Library in Istanbul, Jim uncovers a rare text by Al Kindi - perhaps the world’s earliest mathematical code breaker.

    It's beautiful that at the very top of the first page of his book, Al-Khawarizmi begins with "Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem", In the name of Allah (God) the Beneficent, the Merciful. In Islam, science is about understanding and exploring the complexity and beauty of what God has created.

So please do not lie about Islam and its "Golden Era",because Islam is not about science and art!

      As soon as the scientific revolution came, it came in Europe, not in the Islamic world because science has absolutely nothing to do with Islamic religion other than their mandate to dominate the world by military expansion. Some Islamic scholars outspokenly defend the continuing excellence of Muslim science even though they will not find a great name in Muslim science after about 1100. There’s a Muslim physicist has shown some absurd efforts at a university in Pakistan to apply the methods of physics to the heavenly realms. So being a Muslim means one has to do nonsensical things.
      A number of the leading Arab scientists were actually quite irreligious and even hostile to religion. One of the great physicians of the golden age of Islamic science, Persian Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Zakariya al-Razi, wrote a book saying mankind would be better off without religion. He was denounced as a blasphemer for following his own religious beliefs which were in obvious contradiction to traditional Islam. When we do science, we have to put aside religion. We must exclude the divine from our theories about the world. Once we bring in the supernatural, yes we can explain anything, but none of our explanations can ever be confirmed, since we’re using ideas that go beyond our human sense. In the golden age of Islamic science, they weren't doing Islamic science but they were doing science!

      @@farhanalam2214 So.. if you have some computer background, algorithm is nothing but a group/flow of instructions directing the memory pointer dynamically to get desired execution direction, sometimes it repeats to the same address for repeating operations, this is intelligence in algorithm. In short it writes instructions in advance, so as to mimick predictive mitigation of the problem it is solving. So you don't even have to read whole Aryabhatiya, but read wiki page of author Aryabhatta, you will find one or two introductory Recursive methods such as Kuttaka. So how can you say that algorithms are solely "invented" By the Al-Khwarizmi. Let alone the decimal positional systems for fast calculations and various algebraic discoveries.

Arithmetic algorithms, such as a division algorithm, were used by ancient Babylonian mathematicians c. 2500 BC and Egyptian mathematicians c. 1550 BC.[11] Greek mathematicians later used algorithms in 240 BC in the sieve of Eratosthenes for finding prime numbers, and the Euclidean algorithm for finding the greatest common divisor of two numbers.[12] Arabic mathematicians such as al-Kindi in the 9th century used cryptographic algorithms for code-breaking, based on frequency analysis "..... So if you want to go further deep by the very basic concept of algorithm.....it is used in one or other way even during the Mesopotamian civilization ( present day Iraq and Al-Khwarizmi is also from their ) from 2700BC and Egyptian civilization 2500BC. Way way way earlier then Aryabhata who is from 490AD approximately. But the Algorithm in a very strong context and exclusively invented by Al-Khwarizmi from his manuscript.

    Word "Algebra" does stem from arabic word "al -jabr" and was revealed by Al Khwarizmi in his book hidab al-jabr around 825 AD .
    However ,Algebra is a more antique issue (older than Diophantus 200 AD). In point of fact Brahmagupta (Indian astronomer) (AD 598-670) and Bhaskara II (Indian mathematician) (AD 1114-1185) developed non symbolic, yet very precise, procedures for solving first- and second-degree equations and equations with more than one variable.
    Early civilizations like Babylonians used algebraic notions to solve equations.
    Greek Mathematician Diophantus, around 200 AD wrote Arithmetica books which contained algebraic problems and solutions. This is considered formal beginning of "formal algebra".

      +Unknown Human To the two responders here, he has not revised anything and there proof all over the place attesting to the fact the Algebra, as a math form, predates both Islam, and even recorded history itself. Nonetheless, if one was to look for a civilization that were the true originators of algebra, it would be the Classic Greeks. Al-Khwarizmi's famous book itself was actually a compendium. This doesn't take away from the discoveries of him and people like him, but to call him the father, and to say that Muslims were the originators of algebra is fallacious.

    Al-Khwarizmi wrote "Kitab al hisab al Hindi"( "book of Hindu numericals").
    This was translated into Latin by the name "Algorithmi de Numero Indorum" ("Al-Khwarizmi's Indian numericals").
    Khwarizmi also wrote "kitab al-jam' wa'l-tafriq al-ḥisāb al-hindī ('Addition and subtraction in Indian arithmetic').
    This was another work inspired from Indian mathematics which was largely in use until next 3 centuries.
    Khwarizmi's "Zij al-Sindhind" (Astronomical tables of Siddhanta) is another work consisting of approximately 37 chapters on astronomical calculations based on Indian astronomical methods. The word 'Sindhind' is literally means Hindus living along the Sindhu river
    Al Khwarizmi himself called it ilm ul Hind ("knowledge of Hindus"). But we call it "Algorithm" .
    But western historians deliberately denied Hindus the credit & now Islamists are taking credit
