Al-Khwarizmi (780-850), known as the ‘Father of Algebra,’ made groundbreaking contributions to mathematics and science. His work on algebra and algorithms revolutionized the way we calculate and solve problems today. His discoveries laid the foundation for modern mathematics and influenced scholars across the world.
Who introduced the concept of zero to the world...?
Around 1,500 years ago, in India, a symbol was used to represent an empty column on the abacus. Initially, it was just a dot, which later evolved into the '0' we use today. In the 8th century, the great mathematician Al-Khwarizmi took this concept and played a pivotal role in introducing it to the Arab world. His work helped spread the use of zero, ultimately bringing it to Europe, and laying the foundation for modern mathematics.
