Algebra

The development of algebra began in the year 900 C.E.. It was conceived in the mind of the great Muhammed ibn Musa al Khwarizmi. He discovered this new concept for mathematics while studying in the House of Wisdom in Baghdad. He began his career in the House of Wisdom as a translator. According to Richard Bevan from HistroyHit.com, he was a Persian mathematician who followed the Muslim faith.

Algebra has made day to day life much easier, as we can now  employ an algorithm into a complex equation to solve it incredibly efficiently. This paved the way for modern computing, which improves everyday life by using a mechanism to automatically complete tasks. However, algebra can also be used in negative ways, as LowellMilkenCenter.org explains, "Muhammed's revolutionary approach to mathematics makes much of our current algorithmically-based technology possible, but has also raised some issues. While they provide significant benefits such as delivering targeted messages to micro-audiences through social media, they have also been used to manipulate public opinion for political purposes". While algebra has had both positive and negative impacts on the world, its overall impact is that it helped shape the world today.
