The TEXT in his work bears no resemblance to MODERN mathematics, demanding he be a household name, where countless genius before and after him aren't reeks of a narrative.
what on do you even mean.. he's the same dood who invented modern basics of algebra and you think thats nothing to brag about?
upon research i'd concede a fundamental mistake here.. algorithm the term i just derived from Khawrizmi's name not the concept itself.. so modren inspiration for algorithm actually goes back antiquities
well i can just switch it to Algebra and still maintain the same premise.. and Algebra is a fundamental invention.... the whole point is he's still not as quoted by concurrent masses as it should be..
That isn't in line with a history filled with competing works, lost works, found works, compiled works. Putting his work as completely foundational to people 1000 years after him is a philosophical debate of the butterfly effect.
I do not disagree but that doesn't take the achievement away from him... it doesn't matter is some unknown bloke figured it out and lost his papers .. we trace the origin back to Khawrizmi not mr, anonymous.. since his works have been adapted they lay the foundation ... there is no need to argue around that and ask for technicalities of ever so unlikely possibilities of blokes coming uo with the same thing
I'm not here to start a pointless philosophical debate about technicalities.. the point is.. there is an invention and someone made it public.. the credit is due to him
as simple as that mate
Math wouldn't be the "same" without one of these genius men existing and making their contribution, it also wouldn't be the "same" without the mundane man whose life choices impact the world around him and create the butterfly effect, it may be better or worse, but modern mathematics is more influenced by a lot of other people, whether it comes to the proofs, the methods or the notation involved.
i agree with the first half which is WHAT I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO SAY you keep deflecting any invention is necessary but fundamentals are still fundamentals in this case be Khawarizmi's Algebra or Ibn Haithams "Scientific method" and optics but i don't deny that too majority of Maths is basically refinement and development over initial works but concepts derived that govern most of modren systems and machines should be recognized.. is Galileo is known for first telescope.. what about the first person who develop the first camera?
history is remembered through the present that complements it.. but only if its publicized transparently
