Brahmagupta son of jisnugupta was born in 598 CE. and he was responsible for Brahmasphutasiddhanta (The Opening of the Universe). and it

composed in epileptic verse, as was common practice in indian mathematics. and has a sort of a poetic ring to it. Brahmagupta also gave the

solution of the general linear equation in chapter eighteen of Brahmasphutasiddhanta. ( I’m guessing it’s a book on mathematical stuff). in every

chapter. it has algebra, arithmetics, series, zero, diophantine analysis, Pythagorean triples, pell's equation, geometry, brahmagputa formula,

triangles, brahmagputa theorem, pi, measurements and construction, trigonometry, and astronomy. so he was a very smart guy. plus he did this all

in Bhillamala. which was the capital of the lands ruled by the Gurjara dynasty.

Mohammad bin Musa AL-kwarismi was a persian islamic mathematician, astronomer and

geographer. he was born around 780 and died along or around the year 850. he also worked most

of his life as a scholar in the house of wisdom in baghdad. his book that he wrote around 820 was

the first book on systematic of linear qudartic equation. he was basically the father of algebra.
