and solutions of certain equations geometrically.
The contributions of Al-Khwarizmi was vital as the medieval Arabic texts and later to him were clearly influenced by their notation and terms algebra (which comes from the first part of al-jabr Al-Khwarizmi's book) and algorithm (which comes from the name of Al-Khwarizmi, whose current meaning is the computing system produced by strictly defined rules and lead to the solution) were absolutely rooted in mathematics from the mathematical.
knowledge of the work of Al-Khwarizmi through the first translation of Robert of Chester in 1145 and later other Arabic texts, decisively influenced in mathematics as Leonardo of Pisa (1170-1240), nicknamed Fibonacci, who introduced an algebra somewhat improved in Italy and the Hindu decimal system while, somewhat later, Robert Recorde (1510-1558) did in their country England, with his book Whetstone of Witte published in 1557.
Luca Pacioli (1445 - 1517)
scientist who improved algebraic language were the Master Benedetto (1432 -?) With di praticha darismetrica Trattaro Albert Girard (1595-1632), Luca Pacioli (1445-1517) with his work The Sum published in 1494, Rafael Bombelli (1526-1572) with his book Algebra written in 1557, Thomas Harriot (1560-1621 ) Viète Francisco (1540-1603) and René Descartes (1596-1660).
Viète François (1540 - 1603)
François Viète is considered the most important mathematician of the sixteenth century. In fact made his living as a judge and for him mathematics was a hobby, a diversion which made very important contributions.
Viète Many consider the father of modern algebra because it was the first to use letters to symbolize the unknowns and constants in algebraic equations. He also contributed greatly to the development of trigonometry. But what really made him famous was his ability to decipher the secret messages that King Philip II of Spain sent his troops in Flanders. The English king, realizing that the French discovered their coded messages, he was convinced that things had to be witches.
So did the Italian Scipione Floriano Ferro (1465-1526), \u200b\u200bGeronimo Cardano (1501-1576), Niccolò Fontana Tartaglia "(1499-1557) and Ludovico Ferrari (1522-1565) with his discoveries and solutions of equations.
worth noting for its formal perfection, symbolic algebra to the so-called "cosist." Were mathematicians southern Germany, between the XV and XVI, worked in Italy algebra. Its odd name comes from the name of the unknown by the name of "thing" in Italian means "object", both so that algebra came to be called "art of the thing" . Symbol systems developed very comfortable to operate in the algebraic language and mathematical language in general, many of which have reached us.
Sir Isaac Newton (1643 - 1727)
The famous English physicist and mathematician Isaac Newton said one of his books that to solve a problem reference to numbers or amounts abstract relations, just translate the problem of English or another language to language algebraic " .
Jean Baptiste Le Rond d'Alembert (1717 - 1783)
French mathematician Jean Baptiste Le Rond d 'Alembert , who lived in the eighteenth century, was an ardent admirer of algebra. said that "Algebra is generous, often giving more than what he calls" .
Nikolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky (1792 - 1856)
The famous mathematician Russian Nikolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky said that "there is no branch of mathematics, however abstract it is, that one day may not be applicable to real world phenomena."
About
algebra 2 or 3 in the last few centuries there is much to tell and gives to a few other posts, playing a major mathematicians like Carl Friedrich Gauss, Niels Abel, Evariste Galois and many more to reach the modern algebra today. But as I wanted to focus more on history than on the ropes, long story is not about more ... so ...
