The development of algebra is associated with the Golden Age of Islam.
The Golden Age of Islam refers to a period of cultural, scientific, and intellectual flourishing in the Islamic world from the 8th to the 13th centuries. During this time, Muslim scholars made significant contributions to various fields of knowledge, such as mathematics, astronomy, medicine, literature, and philosophy. One of the most famous mathematicians of this era was al-Khwarizmi, who is considered the father of algebra. He wrote a book on solving linear and quadratic equations, which introduced the term algebra and the use of symbols and variables. His work influenced later mathematicians in both the Islamic and the Western world.
