Does that look like Hebrew or Greek to you? Jews can't make anything look that pretty.The word Algebra is derived from the Arabic word Al-Jabr, and this comes from the treatise written in 820 by the Muslim Persian mathematician, Muhammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī, entitled, in Arabic, كتاب الجبر والمقابلة or Kitāb al-muḫtaṣar fī ḥisāb al-ğabr wa-l-muqābala, which can be translated as The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing.
Nice try, Nick. I really <3 you Arabs. You are so entertaining.
Taken in context, the source I cited writes:
While the word algebra comes from the Arabic language (al-jabr, الجبر literally, restoration) and much of its methods from Arabic/Islamic mathematics, its roots can be traced to earlier traditions, most notably ancient Indian mathematics,
Relax... I'll need some information first. Just the basic facts - can you show me where it hurts?
This is the source used by Wikipedia to make that statement: [url]http://www.brusselsjournal.com/node/4107/print[/url]
You mean to tell me that because Indians knew how to add, subtract, and multiply by base 10, Indians made Algebra?
Clearly too complicated for even a pseudo-Jew to understand.
So, one paragraph below that.
The roots of algebra can be traced to the ancient Babylonians,[6] who developed an advanced arithmetical system with which they were able to do calculations in an algorithmic fashion.6. ^ Struik, Dirk J. (1987). A Concise History of Mathematics. New York: Dover Publications.Trumphs a conservative online journal.Dirk Jan Struik (September 30, 1894 – October 21, 2000) was a Dutch mathematician ... while continuing his research on the history of mathematics. He was made full professor at MIT in 1940.
And then.
Indian Mathematics
Indian mathematics emerged in the Indian subcontinent[1] from 1200 BCE [2] until the end of the 18th century.Its all a matter of how simplified you want to make it Now whether the Babylonians were considered Arabs, I would guess so, but not completely certain.Babylonian mathematics
In respect of time they fall in two distinct groups: one from the Old Babylonian period (1830-1531 BC).

Is this an argument about Arabs vs Jews?
That's a waste of time, everyone knows the best race is robots.
Oh I'm not so sure Robot. In the end , the great (the greatest ) Papillonians invented a new part of maths - The Squirrel !

Einstein was a Jew.
My favorite Jew of all time was [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Klemperer"]Victor Klemperer[/URL], though.
