Al -Khwarizmi: When Gmail completes the sentences or Netflix offers recommendations to watch movies, do you wonder where this thing came? Do you know how the planes fly or drive self -driving vehicles on the automatic pilot? What are the algorithms used to achieve this? Who made this possible? Where did the word “algorithm” came from? Have you heard about Sheikh Muhammad bin Musa Al -Khwarizmi?
The word Khwarizia comes from Muhammad Musa Al -Khwarizmi, which is the name of an Arab Muslim mathematician who developed the concept of algorithms. He is also attributed to the invention of algebra (algebra calculating).
Dar Al -Hikma, also known as the Greater Baghdad Library, was a major general academy and an intellectual center in Baghdad during the Abbasid rule.
Caliph Harun al -Rashid founded the House of Wisdom in the late eighth century, which later turned into a general academy during the era of Al -Ma’mun.
It was destroyed by the Mongols in the siege of Baghdad in 1258, leaving very few archaeological evidence.
Thanks to Al -Khwarizmi’s arithmetic work in introducing Arabic numbers on the basis of the Indian -Arab numbering system developed in Indian mathematics, which contains the decimal system, to the Western world. The term “algorithm” is derived from Algorqam, the style of arithmetic with Indian and Arabic numbers that Al -Khwarizmi developed.
Both the words “Khwarizmia” and “Algorisim” are drawn from the Latin forms of the name algoritmi and algorismi, respectively.
Artificial Intelligence algorithms: The algorithm is a step -by -step procedure to accomplish specific tasks. In artificial intelligence (AI), algorithms help to accomplish tasks that required an human rule – such as plane flying, vehicle driving, composing emails, and providing recommendations for books and movies. High energy computers help implement these algorithms at high speeds.
Al -Jazari: Badi Al -Zaman is considered Abu Al -Ezz bin Ismail bin Al -Razzaz Al -Jazari, known as Al -Jazari, one of the greatest engineers and inventors in Arab -Islamic history. Al -Jazari lived in the twelfth century AD, leaving an indifferent imprint in the fields of mechanical engineering and human robots. He is attributed to him many inventions that were preceded by its era, which greatly affected the development of science and engineering in the Arab, Islamic and international world.
Al -Jazari designed many machines of great importance, many of which were not known anywhere in the world before, including water lifting machines, water watches with a self -alert system, conversion valves, self -control systems, and many others explained in his author, which he called “the combination of science and useful work in making tricks.”
Al -Jazari invented a robot in the form of a boy in his hand, a water jug, and in the other hand a towel, and on his turban, a bird, and at the date of the prayer, the bird is yellowing, then the servant moves towards his master, to pour the water in the jug in a certain amount, and after the completion of ablution he offers the towel, then returns to his place.
