It is Diophantus of Alexandria who is considered the father of algebra, though Abu Jafar Muhammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī is said by some to be worthy of a share in the title. Diophantus preceeds the latecomer by 500 years. It was the latter who published in the 9th century AD. Diophantus was around a lot earlier.
