AL-KHORAZMI’S INCREDIBLE CONTRIBUTION TO THE HISTORY OF NUMBERS AND ITS EMERGENCE

Abstract

This article provides a comprehensive examination of the seminal contributions of the Persian mathematician and scholar, Al-Khwarizmi, to the development and dissemination of numerical systems during the Islamic Golden Age. Al-Khwarizmi's groundbreaking work, particularly his treatise "Kitab al-Jabr wal-Muqabala" (The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing), played a pivotal role in the transmission of Indian arithmetic and algebraic techniques to the Western world, profoundly influencing the evolution of numerical notation and mathematical thought.
