Kitab an-nuzha fi ilm al-hisab

Author

ibn al-Haim, Šahab ad-din Ahmad

Description (srp)

Arapi su, nalik Indusima, nesputano operisali iracionalnim brojevima. Međutim, načinili su korak nazad pošto su odbacili negativne brojeve uprkos tome što su ih preuzeli od Indijaca. Na polju algebre Arapi su pre svega doprineli imenom. Reč algebra potiče iz naslova udžbenika s tom tematikom, Hisab al-jabrw'almuqabala (Računanje upotpunjavanjem i uravnotežavanjem) koju je oko 830. godine napisao astronom i matematičar Mohamed ibn Musa al-Hovarizmi. Ovaj naslov se ponekad prevodi kao Obnavljanje i pojednostavljenje ili Preuređenje i skraćivanje. Naša reč algoritam predstavlja iskvareni oblik al-Hovarizmijevog imena. Godina izdavanja: 1609.

Description (eng)

Like the Hindus, the Arabs worked freely with irrationals. However they took a backward step in rejecting negative numbers in spite of having learned of them from the Hindus. In algebra the Arabs contributed first of all the name. The word "algebra" come from the title of a text book in the subject, Hisab al-jabrw'almuqabala, (Calculation by Completion and Balancing) written about 830 by the astronomer/mathematician Mohammed ibn-Musa al-Khowarizmi. This title is sometimes translated as "Restoring and Simplification" or as "Transposition and Cancellation." Our word "algorithm" is a corruption of al-Khowarizmi's name. Year of publishing: 1609.
