Hahhhahh :-))
Now that I spoke of Kharazmi again in the other thread, I add that Kharazmi is the one who was designated to go to India and bring their knowledge of math and logic to Iran (and the entire Islamic world). He did, and the result was one of his early books called "Indian Calculation" and it was this book which brought Indian math notations and "0" into Iran, and from there to north Africa and all the way to Spain, from whom Europeans later learned it and began using it.
Indians were great mathematicians before any other nations began doing math. Today, they of course attribute to Kharazmi the first book on algebra and, in fact, inventing it. But I'm not sure of that myself. Not knowing how much Kharazmi borrowed from Indians, leaves some degree of doubt in me about him being the inventor of Algebra. An expert in the Indian older languages, who also has math background is required to see into this to make sure it was, first, Kharazmi who did it, or it was being done before him in India.
But, I have a feeling that 20 years from now you won't find a shred of evidence that this important role of bringing the Indian knowledge in math into countries to the west of India was performed by no other person than Kharazmi. The evidence is still here, but will most probably not be here in 20 years. Arab money employs Satan to do what Arabs want history to say. Kharazmi was no Arab.
