His most important book '<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compendious_Book_on_Calculation_by_Completion_and_Balancing" target="_blank">Hisab <b>al-jabr</b> w'al-muqabala</a>' has given us the word <b>algebra</b>. Unlike the popular perception, he rejected algebraic symbolism (his treatment was entirely rhetorical) and much of his work was based on earlier Indian and Greek sources which questions his position as the father of algebra. The word 'Algorithm' is a derived from his name. (Source: Hollingdale, Stuart, (1989), Makers of Mathematics)<br />
