    		•
    Abū Jafar Muhammad al-Khwārizmī, a Persian astronomer and mathematician, wrote a treatise in 825 AD, Kitāb hisāb al-adad al-hindī (Book on Calculation with Hindu Numerals), which was translated into Latin in the early 12th century as Liber Algorismi de numero Indorum (The Book of Algorismi on Indian Numerals). The word "Algorism"- the Latin form of al-Khwārizmī's name - came to be applied to any systematic work on ancient Indian-style computational mathematics. The present term "algorithm" is a distorted form of "algorism".
