Math Who is the father of algebra? Asked by AnneS2 on 28 Jul 08:46 Last updated by anonymous on 30 Jul 15:03
Two people are considered the father of algebra: Al-Khwarizmi and Diophantus. Al-Khwarizmi is more often thought of as the father of algebra because he taugh algebra in an elementary way. Whereas, Diphantus was more interested in number theory.
