Saturday, October 5, 2013




1 . Al - Hajjaj ibn Yusuf ibn Matar ( 786-833 AD )

Al - Hajjaj ibn Yusuf ibn Matar is an Arab mathematician who first translated Euclid's Elements from Greek into Arabic . He made a more concise translation for the caliph al - Ma ʾ mun ( 813-833 ) . Around 829 , he translated Ptolemy's Almagest , which at that time also has been translated by Hunayn ibn Ishaq and al - Tabari Sahl . We know nothing about the private life Hajjaj 's , his family , his friends , or training ( teacher ), we know that he was one of the translators of the most influential in the late 8th century early 9th century in Baghdad , the capital of the Empire Abbasiyah.Hajjaj translate Ptolemy Megale syntax known as the Almagest and Euclid 's Elements .
In the early 9th century , he translated the Elements , manuscripts Greek , into Arabic for Yahya bin Khalid ( d. : 805 ) , Wazir Caliph Harun al - Rashid . But in the year 820 , Hajjaj revise the translation and make it to the Abbasid Caliph Ma'mun 's ruling . translation baruya described more sophisticated version of the original translation . When and for whom he translated the Almagest is unknown . Two manuscripts Hajjaj translation of Ptolemy's main work is still there to this day .
Hajjaj 's translation has a great impact on society Arabic, Farsi , Hebrew and Students are studying the book of Ptolemy and Euclid . It can be detected in the manu script representing the two major traditions in the transmission of Arabic in the Almagest and Element and derivatives later in Latin and Hebrew .

2 . Muhammad ibn Musa al - Khwarizmi

            The multiplication of ( 2x - 5 ) ( x +1 ) is ...
            Answer: ( 2x - 5 ) ( x +1 ) = 2x2 + 2x - 5x -5
                                                 = 2x2 - 3x -5
Did you know that all the above are examples of questions such as the ideas of the Muslim mathematicians ? He was alkwarizmi . Muḥammad ibn Musa al - Khwarizmi ( Arabic : محمد بن موسى الخوارزمي ) is a mathematician , astronomy , astrology , and geography of Persian origin . Born around the year 780 in Khwarizm ( now Khiva , Uzbekistan ) and died around the year 850 . Nearly all his life , he worked as a lecturer at the School of Honor in Baghdad . Al - Khwarizmi is the first to introduce the use of zero as a number in base ten place value . Zero was brought to Europe by Leonardo Fibonanci in his work , Liber Abaci . The presence of zeros it had rejected the Christian church . Zeros has huge implications in all aspects of life and human civilization . He is known as the father of algebra because of his great work .
Difficult to know the full alkwarimy biografy , name calling or Abū ʿ Abd Allāh Abū Ja ʿ far . The historian al - Tabari gave his name as Muhammad ibn Musa al - Khwarizmi al - Majousi al - Katarbali . Epithet al - Qutrubbulli indicate he might instead come from Qutrubbull , a small town near Baghdad . About al - Khwarizmi 's religion , Toomer wrote : " Another nickname given to him by al - Tabari , " al - Majousi " seems to indicate that he is an adherent of the old Zoroastrian religion . It still would have been possible at that time for a man from Iran , but the preface to al - Khwarizmi 's Algebra shows in his book that he is a Muslim . Julukanyang al - Tabari 's given him could mean that the origin of his ancestors , and perhaps it was his title in youth . In al Kitab al - Fihrist of Ibn al - Nadim we find a short biography on al - Khwarizmi , together with a list of the books he wrote .

3 . Al - Qalasadi

Al - Qalasadi contribution in developing mathematics really is priceless . He is the Muslim mathematician 15th century , when no human being he may not be the arithmetical symbols . History records alqasadi is a Muslim mathematician credited with introducing the symbolic algebra . Symbols were first developed in the 14th century by Ibn al - banna developed later in the 15th century by al - Qasadi , al - Qasadi introducing mathematical symbols using characters of the Arabic alphabet . He wa meaningful use and for the addition ( + ) , for the reduction of ( - ) , berate illa al Qasadi use " less " while multiplication ( X ) it uses fi which means " times " . Symbol style that is meaningful to use for division ( / ) .
In addition , al - Qalasadi also use the symbol j to represent the '' root '' . Sh symbol used to represent a variable ( x ) . Then , he used the symbol m ) to symbolize '' squares '' ( X2 ) . The letter k is used as a symbol of '' cube '' ( x3 ) . Meanwhile , symbolizing equality ( = ) .
Without the services of al - Qalasadi , modern society may not be familiar with a very important symbol of Algebra it . Then, exactly who is al - Qalasadi it ? The leading Muslim mathematician whose full name Abu al - Hasan Ali ibn al - Qala ? Adi . He was born in 1412 in Bastah ( now , Baza ) , which is now known as Andalusia Spain .
