>>
they used to... dunno what happened after that
>>
>>55686330
That's one possible etymology.
What did they do in this "algebra"? At the time there was no idea of what we call algebra today, which came up only with Viete at the earliest.

Algebra was literally only the extraction of roots of polynomial equations, which is a tiny subcategory of what we call algebra. And they didn't make much about that either.

Wikipedia:
Etymology
The word algebra comes from the Arabic language (الجبر al-jabr "restoration") from the title of the book Ilm al-jabr wa'l-muḳābala by al-Khwarizmi. The word entered the English language during Late Middle English from either Spanish, Italian, or Medieval Latin. Algebra originally referred to a surgical procedure, and still is used in that sense in Spanish, while the mathematical meaning was a later development.[7]

Around 1000AD Bagdhad was at the forefront of the scientific and intelectual world. Much of the knowledge from the Roman empire (and other empires of the time) had made its way there and was built on extensively.

However a group of religious scholars ended all that by destroying the intellectual drive of the region and advocating determinism as the core of Islamic faith. This fucker was at the core of the movement. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Ghazali

Within a few centuries the region fell and became the shitpit it is today. It is this flavour of Islam that we are dealing with even now, the same one that ended the 'Islamic golden age' and has destroyed empires from within.

The knowledge that was built up in the region made its way to Europe with traders and Christian scholars in time to kick off the renaissance

Actual mathematician here.

Not really, but I was top of my school in Calculus and Physics so listen the fuck up.

Arabs most notable contribution to mathematics was the use of the base 10 system we use today.

It is not the most useful per say, but the easiest to use, like a lowest common denominator.

Now, if it's the easiest to use and understand, why did the Arabs of all people come up with it? How did they 'invent' it while other great civilizations (Greeks,Romans) use out dated mathematical systems?

It's easy.

In the times of the Greeks/Romans, higher mathematics was the realm of the elite and their disciples, and only them. They deliberately used systems that the common man wouldn't understand unless shown how, this was to help keep people from experimenting for themselves and questioning the findings of the 'scholars' of the day. Much how the elite would speak Latin instead of Roman or Greek.

So, they deliberately used harder to use systems because they could. Admirable in a sense.

Enter the Arabs, they used (did not invent it the Egyptians did in 3000BC), base 10 because of its simplicity.

The great irony is, people love to lord the fact that Arabs used base 10 before Europeans like it was some sort of achievement, but what they fail to realize by their own admission is that it's a mark of how short they measured up to Europeans.

Arabs were sitting on the perfect starting point for mathematics and achieved very little in that field. It wasn't until Europeans widely adopted it that a lot of significant advancements were made.

Too god damn right anon.

Amputations used to be a death sentence in the middle ages, if you didn't die from the shook alone the wounds would become infected and nearly anyone who got an amputation would die.

Enter the Arabs, thanks to their unique judicial system they came up with over9000 new sanitary techniques for safely amputating body parts!

True pioneers in the art of elective surgery.

They're still inventing new ways today! Their latest invention is the ' percussive shockwave removal' technique.

Highly effective from long ranges but hard to control.
