Основоположником алгебры, как особой науки, нужно считать среднеазиатского ученого Мухаммеда из Хорезма, известного под арабским прозвищем аль-Хваризми (Хорезмиец). Его алгебраический труд, составленный в 9 в. н.э., носит название «Книга восстановления и противопоставления». «Восстановлением» Мухаммед называет перенос вычитаемого из одной части уравнения в другую, где оно становится слагаемым; «противопоставлением» – собирание неизвестных в одну сторону уравнения, а известных – в другую сторону. По-арабски «восстановление» называется «ал-джебр». Отсюда название «алгебра».
Эта книга также сыграла решающую роль в распространении индийской позиционной нумерации в арабских странах.
В 12 веке «Алгебра» аль-Хваризми стала известна в Европе и была переведена на латинский язык. С этого времени начинается развитие алгебры в европейских странах. В 13 веке индийская нумерация получает преобладание в Италии. В других странах Западной Европы она утверждается в 16 веке. Европейцы, заимствовавшие индийскую нумерацию от арабов, называли ее «арабской». Это исторически неправильное название удерживается и поныне.
