| 520 | |a This research studies the original Arabic version of Al-Khwarizi's Al- Mukhtasar fi Hiseb Al-Jabr wa'l-Muqebala and explanations of his work on Arithmetic Kiteb Al-Jem wa'l Tafreq bi Hiseb Al-Hind which is available only in Latin under the title of Algoritmi de numero Indorum. This work has used secondary sources in the form of books, articles, and internet documentations. The methodology employed in this study is a qualitative analysis of the collected data. The primary focus of the research has been on Al-Khwarizmi's overall contribution to mathematical sciences which eventually helped in the development of all branches of mathematics in the West. Although traditionally it has been known that algebra is an Arabic word and the use of the Arabic numerals originated through these studies, historians of mathematics have discovered that Muslim knowledge of mathematical schemes during the Medieval Times contributed to a great extent to the Renaissance in Europe. Al-Khwarizmi's algebra is already included in contemporary educational curricula in universities and secondary schools, therefore, Al-Khwarizmi's contribution to mathematics made him number one amongst the most celebrated mathematicians in the history of mankind. This study relates the pre-Islamic origins of mathematics and its development as an integral part during the Islamic civilization culminating with the creation of the academy of science called Bait Al-Hikmah. This study concludes by highlighting the essential principles Muslim should adapt to bridge the gap that separated between the Muslims' civilizational legacy and the present scientific and technological advancement of the West. | ||
