花剌子密(Abū ʿAbdallāh Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī,780年代—850年代)係波斯數學家、天文學家同地理學家。佢係繼3世紀丟番圖之後最深入研究代數嘅人,同時將十進制帶到去歐洲。
佢有份推廣嘅代數論文喺813年至833年間編寫成《Al-Jabr(《完成與平衡計算之書》)》,[1]:171 呢本書首次提供咗系統化解線性方程同二次方程嘅方法。佢喺代數嘅其中一個成就,就係佢示範咗點樣用配方法嚟解決二次方程,並且提供幾何證明。[2]:14 因為al-Khwarizmi係第一個將代數視為一門獨立學科嘅人,並引入咗「簡化」同「平衡」嘅方法(即將方程式中被減數移到另一邊,意思係將兩邊相同嘅項目取消),[3]佢被形容為代數之父[4][5][6]或者創始人[7][8]。英文字「algebra」就係由佢上述論文嘅簡稱(الجبر Al-Jabr,

)嚟嘅。[9] 佢嘅名字亦衍生咗英文字「algorism」同「algorithm」;西班牙文、意大利文、葡萄牙文嘅「algoritmo」;同埋西班牙文嘅「guarismo」[10]同葡萄牙文嘅「algarismo」,兩個詞都係解「數字」。[11]
喺12世紀,拉丁文翻譯咗al-Khwarizmi嘅印度算術教科書(Algorithmo de Numero Indorum),呢本書將各種印度數字編碼,並將十進制為基礎嘅位值記數系統介紹畀西方世界。[12] 同樣,《Al-Jabr》由英國學者Robert of Chester喺1145年翻譯成拉丁文,喺16世紀之前一直係歐洲大學主要嘅數學教科書。[13][14][15][16]
al-Khwarizmi修改咗托勒密嘅《地理學》,呢本書係二世紀羅馬博學家Claudius Ptolemy用希臘文寫嘅論文,列出咗唔同城市同地區嘅經緯度。[17]:9 佢仲編寫咗一套天文表,寫咗關於曆法、星盤同日晷嘅作品。[18] al-Khwarizmi喺三角學方面作出重要貢獻,編制咗精確嘅正弦同餘弦表,仲寫咗第一本正切表。

[編輯]花剌子模嘅生平詳情唔係好清楚。伊本·納迪姆話佢出生喺花剌子模,一般認為佢就係嚟自呢個地區。[19][20][21]
佢係波斯血統,[22][19][23][24][25]佢個名意思係「嚟自花剌子模」,呢個地區以前係大伊朗嘅一部分,[26]而家係土庫曼斯坦同烏茲別克斯坦嘅一部分。[27]
塔巴里話佢全名係穆罕默德·本·穆薩·花剌子模·馬朱西·庫特魯布利(阿拉伯文:محمد بن موسى الخوارزميّ المجوسـيّ القطربّـليّ)。「庫特魯布利」呢個稱號可能表示佢係嚟自巴格達附近嘅庫特魯布(卡特拉布),[28]不過Roshdi Rashed否認呢個講法:[29]
唔使係呢個時期嘅專家或者語言學家都睇得出,塔巴里嘅第二個引用應該係「穆罕默德·本·穆薩·花剌子模同馬朱西·庫特魯布利」,即係兩個人(花剌子模同馬朱西·庫特魯布利)之間嘅連詞「wa」(阿拉伯文「و」,意思係「同」)喺早期抄本中被省略咗。如果唔係因為一連串關於花剌子模個人,甚至佢知識嚟源嘅錯誤,呢個都唔值得一提。最近,G.J. Toomer天真咁喺呢個錯誤上面建構咗個完整嘅幻想,唔得不承認呢個幻想有娛樂讀者嘅功勞。
另一方面,David A. King確認佢嘅尼斯巴係庫特魯布,指出佢被稱為花剌子模·庫特魯布利係因為佢出生喺巴格達郊外。[30]
關於花剌子模嘅宗教信仰,Toomer寫道:[31]
塔巴里畀佢嘅另一個稱號「馬朱西」似乎表示佢係舊拜火教嘅信徒。喺當時,對於一個伊朗血統嘅人嚟講呢個仲係可能嘅,但係花剌子模嘅《代數學》嘅虔誠序言顯示佢係一個正統嘅穆斯林,所以塔巴里嘅稱號可能只係意味住佢嘅祖先,或者佢年輕時係拜火教徒。
伊本·納迪姆嘅al-Fihrist包含咗花剌子模嘅簡短傳記同埋佢嘅著作清單。花剌子模大部分嘅工作係喺813年至833年之間完成嘅。喺穆斯林征服波斯之後,巴格達成為咗科學研究同貿易嘅中心。大約820年,佢被任命為智慧之家嘅天文學家同圖書館館長。[2]:14智慧之家係由阿拔斯哈里發馬蒙建立嘅。花剌子模研究科學同數學,包括翻譯希臘同梵文嘅科學手稿。佢仲係一個歷史學家,經常被塔巴里同Ibn Abi Tahir呢啲人引用。[32]
喺瓦西克統治期間,據講佢參與咗兩次去哈扎爾嘅使節團中嘅第一次。[33]Douglas Morton Dunlop建議穆罕默德·本·穆薩·花剌子模可能同穆罕默德·本·穆薩·本·沙基爾係同一個人,後者係巴努·穆薩兄弟中嘅長兄。[34]

Take, for example, someone like Muhammad b. Musa al-Khwarizmi (fl. 850) may present a problem for the EIr, for although he was obviously of Persian descent, he lived and worked in Baghdad and was not known to have produced a single scientific work in Persian.

我提到花剌子模嘅另一個名字係想話佢唔係嚟自中亞。佢嚟自巴格達郊外嘅庫特魯布。佢係喺嗰度出世,否則佢唔會被叫做庫特魯布利。好多人話佢嚟自花剌子模,tsk-tsk。
