The word \"algorithm\" as well as the key word \"algebra\" in the title of this book come from the name and the work of the ninth-century scientist Mohammed ibn Musa al-Khowarizmi, who was born in what is now Uzbek­ istan and worked in Baghdad at the court of Harun al-Rashid's son. The word \"algorithm\" is actually a westernization of al-Khowarizmi's name, while \"algebra\" derives from \"al-jabr,\" a term that appears in the title of his book Kitab al-jabr wa'l muqabala, where he discusses symbolic methods for the solution of equations. This close connection between algebra and al­ gorithms lasted roughly up to the beginning of this century; until then, the primary goal of algebra was the design of constructive methods for solving equations by means of symbolic transformations. During the second half of the nineteenth century, a new line of thought began to enter algebra from the realm of geometry, where it had been successful since Euclid's time, namely, the axiomatic method.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1993-04-08\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780387979717\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4612-0913-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 576\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44499562168460,"sku":"9780387979717","price":107.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780387979717.jpg?v=1775711626","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780387979717","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
