Algebra was invented by Greeks, Babylonians, Indians, and Chinese. Al-Khwarizmi who was the father of algebra actually modified and translated the works of Greeks, Babylonians and Indians, and he was not an Arab, he was a Khwarizmian from Greater Persia
he also popularized indian numeral system, nowadays 1234567890 are known to be hindu arabic numerals but they are actually hindu numerals , the only way “arabs” contributed to it was mass producing research.
i am not saying arabs didn’t contribute to science it’s just pan-arabist and isalmist propaganda to say modern numbers and algebra are due to arabic/islamic impact
Positional decimal notation including a zero symbol was developed in India, using symbols visually distinct from those that would eventually enter into international use
You never questioned why Algebra has an Arabic name OP?
🤣🤣🤣🤣

What?
Literally, what?
They’re literally called Arabic numbers…
Who calls them “Indian numbers”? I’ve legitimately never heard that phrase…
There was East Arabic numbers before Arabic, but that isn’t what was used for algebra and not what you use now. We use Arabic numbers.

Which is the same as modern day Iran and the surrounding Arabic countries…
No, it’s literally what the dominant number system is called…

But I have to guess what you’re talking about.
