Sinopsis:
Rewritten by Dewi Sulistya Wati. Imagine a world without Google, without calculators, and without the number zero! Hard to picture, right? But before a scholar named Al-Khwarizmi emerged, the world had yet to know the numeral system we use today. Al-Khwarizmi introduced algebra, the Hindu-Arabic numeral system, and the concept of algorithms, a term derived from his name! His work paved the way for other scientists to build computer science, artificial intelligence, and the technology we rely on daily. Unfortunately, his name was largely forgotten in the Islamic world due to political and historical shifts, yet his ideas flourished in Europe and became the foundation of modern science. The story of Al-Khwarizmi is proof that knowledge can transform the world. Without him, we might still be calculating with cumbersome Roman numerals!
