Algebra was supposedly started by the thinking of Abu Abdullah Mohammad Ibn Musa al-Khawarizmi, possibly one of the greatest mathematicians who ever lived. He came up with the idea of "Al-Jabr wa-al-Muqabilah", which involved the use of alalytical solutions in linear, and quadratic forms. The very word "Algebra" is derived from the expression.
