The "father of algebra" is typically considered to be Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi, a Persian mathematician from the 9th century. His book "The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing" laid the foundations of algebra as a mathematical field and introduced the concept of solving linear and quadratic equations. Al-Khwarizmi's work had a significant influence on the development of mathematics in both the Islamic world and Europe.
