Aryabhata[edit]

In the whole article the mathematician Aryabhata doesn't get mentioned. Which is somewhat strange since fe. al-Khwārizmīs book is based on his works. Some even argue that the term Algebra actually is derived from his name via arabization.--46.125.249.20 (talk) 21:26, 11 September 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Sorry but we can't add aryabhatta article since he only derived a single formula and has less source but brahmagupta has more sources to back. Obiwana (talk) 14:02, 13 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Al Khwarazmi name means he is originally from Khorezm. Khorezm is very Uzbek region where authentic Uzbeks resided since being. Why Khwarazmi referred to Persian[edit]

Persian language was popular at those times but Al Khwarazmi was born in current Uzbek territory. His name suggests he is authentic Khoresmian meaning his ethnisity Khoresmian tribe. Why wiki suggest he was Persian 2A02:6B68:5447:0:D415:D011:C991:5A2A (talk) 07:15, 20 January 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

What can we do to nudge this article into a "good article" status?[edit]

What are the things that need improvements? E.g. copyediting, citations, more links, etc. What stride can we make to making this article better to the point of becoming "good"? - S L A Y T H E - (talk) 19:20, 6 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
