Yes but also no as Steve von Trig discovered it a thousand years before and of course gets none of the credit.
/ the Pythagorean Theorum is far older than Pyth.
Yes and bluetooth was named after the famous king Harold Bluetooth
No it was the Dutch man Piet Agoras
As always, relevant Wikipedia links:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Khwarizmi https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Knuth https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorithm
The only correct answer to “name every Algorithm”.
My algorithms are generally named // Garbage - rewrite when we have time
And will remain unchanged until the heat death of the universe.
It's even better when you break the name down kwarizam is where he's from and Muhammad is a common first name. It's like saying Johnny English (or may be Jean Francois) invented calculus in 10-diggity-dig
literally completely accurate
I'm consistently saddened by the changing state of the English language 😔
When I was a little child I was sad German isn't the common language ("how great would it be if everyone in the world knew this beautiful language!"). While growing up I completely shifted towards being glad it isn't German, I wouldn't want that to happen to my language.
I always thought that the guy who invented the Internet created the first one. That's why they're called Al Gore-isms, no?
john backflip is that you???
So he translated the work of Indian mathematicians and got all the credit? Sounds legit.
Built off it, rather than copied it. That's par for the course in most science.
The Persians, Muslims, Arabs kept knowledge and science that would have been lost during the dark ages.
If it wasn't for their continued work in maths and sciences centuries would.have been lost / wasted.
Good scientists copy, great scientists steal.
Just ask ~~Tesla~~ Edison!
Man i remember learning this in CS class
I thought we got algorithm from al-gore-ithm
My algorithms could be considered gore
I thought the boss that came after Knuth was John Conway, due to Knuth's up-arrows vs Conway's chained arrows.
