Question

What was a major advancement in mathematics than the Arab empires

Answer 1

One major advancement in mathematics made by the Arab empires was the development of algebra. The Arab mathematician Al-Khwarizmi is often credited with creating the foundational concepts of modern algebra in his book "Kitab al-Jabr w'al-Muqabala" (The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing), written in the 9th century. This work presented systematic methods for solving linear and quadratic equations, as well as techniques for manipulating algebraic expressions. Al-Khwarizmi's work laid the groundwork for the development of algebraic notation and the solution of higher-order equations, greatly influencing subsequent mathematical developments in Europe.
