In 9c the a Persian mathematician named Abu Jafar Muhammad ibm Mus al-Khwarizmi wrote a book called "Kitab al-Jabr wal-Muqabala". While there is still some disagreement about the exact meanings on the arabic words, al-Jabr (or al-Gebr) can be loosely translated as reintegration and completion, while muqabala is reduction or balancing. The book was the first systematic treatise on solving linear and quadratic equations.
Al-jabr gave rise to Algebra.
