001000 Positional Notation of Arabic Numbers

Mohamed Ibn-Musa Al-Khwarizmi established the concept of the Arabic numbers that has been is use until the present time.



The concept of Arabic numbers is based on two main notions: The ten digits: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9; and The positional notation where each digit acquires its value from its position.



Al-Khwarizmi’s contributions to mathematics included the invention of Algebra. The very term “Algebra” derives from the Arabic word “Al-Jabr” meaning Approximation, showcasing the profound impact of Al-Khwarizmi’s scholarship on mathematical concepts.



Additionally, words like “Logarithm” and ‘Algorithm” bear homage to Al-Khwarizmi's legacy and underscoring his influence in shaping modern the principles of mathematics, computer engineering, and computer science.
