When exactly did I infer that YOU were included in the US? You are not. I do not know what you are included in and I do not care. Are Panamanian mongrels usually this hostile?:D       The word algebra is named after the  word al-jabr , الجبر from the title of the book , meaning The book of Summary Concerning Calculating by Transposition and Reduction, a book written by the ,  (also considered the father of algebra), in 820.   What do you know...a Persian, not an Arab;)    The word Al-Jabr means reunion. The Hellenistic mathematician  has traditionally been known as the father of algebra but in more recent times there is debate over whether al-Khwarizmi, who founded the discipline of al-jabr, deserves that title instead   No, he doesn't deserve it. Just more anti-White, anti-Western revisionism to make the muds feel special and undermine big, bad, evil Whitey's accomplishments. But considering this guy was a Persian and this was nearly 2,000 years ago, he was likely White anyhow;)
