Al-khwarizmi (the pronunciation of the Arabic is Al-Kor-is-me) also
gave his name to Algorithm, a term familiar to all IT professionals,
for his invention of the fundamental tool for specifying logical
procedures.
No algorithms =3D=3D=3D> no modern technological society...
racist bigots such as veritas, Doug and Little Johnny Howard would
still be living in their own
excrement and celebrating their native culture: Rum, Sodomy and the
Lash. B^D
Thank you for your erudite post.
A amall point regarding the subject header:
Re: The word "algebra" is named after the Arabic word "al-jabr" from
the title of the book al-Kit=C4=81b
'al-Kitab' means 'the Book' - in your subject header it is redundant
"...the title of the book the book" (repitition)
