Discovery of algebra



The discovery of the algebra starts from the place Egypt and Babylon. In Egypt and Babylon the people were very interested to learning the linear equations such as cx=d and the quadratic equations such as c2+dx = e and in intermediate equations. The Babylonians basic steps are used to solve the quadratic equations. Nowadays we also use these basic steps only. Now in this article we just simply see about the discovery of algebra.

Explanation for Discovery of Algebra:

The Diaphanous who is called the father of algebra. The book named Arithmetic book of Diaphanous gives an advanced level and many unexpected solutions to the intermediate equations for discovery of algebra. The first Arabic algebras that is a systematic expose of the basic theory of equations, is written by AL-Khwarizmi. The basic laws and identities of algebra are stated and solved by the Egyptian mathematician Abu Kamil in nineteenth century.

Discovery of Algebra in Persian Mathematics:

The Persian mathematician, who called omar kayyam, mentioned in his book how to express roots of cubic equations by line segment which is obtained by intersecting conic equations. But he did not find the formula for the roots. But in 13th century, the great Italian mathematician named Leonardo Fibonacci achieved the close approximation to the solution of the cubic equation.

After the introduction of the symbols for unknown and for algebraic powers and operations there was a development in algebra. It was happened in 16th centuries.

Algebra entered in to the modern phase in the gauss time. After the discovery the Hamilton, the German mathematician Hermann Grassmann examining the vector. Because of its abstract character, American physicist named Gibbs acknowledged the vector algebra for system of great utility for physicists. In that time period, algebra of modern that means abstract algebra has continued to develop. After that it is used in all branches of mathematics and in other science.
