Al-Khwārizmī's contributions to mathematics, geography, astronomy, and cartography established the basis for innovation in algebra and trigonometry. His systematic approach to solving linear and quadratic equations led to algebra, A crater on the far side of the moon was named after him and an Iranian award was also named after him. If he didn’t worked out algebra, avery important thing of maths would we even have the basic
