Fun fact: the word “algorithm” is named after its inventor, Persian (Iranian) mathematician Al Khwarizmi, who lived 1300 years ago. He is also the father of algebra (named after his book Al Jabr) and popularized the number system we all use today.https://www.britannica.com/biography/al-Khwarizmi …

The Persians have graced the world with many beautiful souls! The greatest thinkers, writers, lexicographers & orators of the ancient world - Rumi's poems still break me every-time (and I've only ever read them in English!)

Interestingly enough the numbers that today are referred to as “arabic” came to Persia from India.

At the time when MOHAMED ALKAHAWARIZMI born there was no Persia it was Arabic territory where people speak Arabic so ALKAHAWARIZMI even his books was in Arabic and our culture is our origin not where we born so in my opinion is right to consider him Arab
-
By that logic, when did people start to be „Persians“? Can you please give a an exact date? Because rn in Iran people barely speak arab (only the oppressors, but they ain’t Iranian).

Well, logically and historically spoken there is no relation with Iran and al khawarizmi or any other inventor, there was no "Iran" at that time.

Hello Hadi. I'm a math historian & researcher. Al-Khwarizmi did not understand India's zero. I suggest you watch this 36 minute talk to learn about the new history of the Lost Logic of Bharatiya Maths. Thank you. Jonathanhttp://www.j.mp/Arith2Podo
