Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi is generally regarded as the "Father of Algebra." This 9th-century Persian astronomer and mathematician laid out, in his Kitab al-Jabr wa-al-Muqabala book, probably the first systematic methods for solving linear and quadratic equations. The very word "algebra" comes from the title of this book. Some sources attribute the honor to the Greek scholar Diophantus, but al-Khwarizmi is generally considered to be the founder of algebra as an independent branch of mathematics.
