Abū Kāmil The Egyptian born Abū Kāmil Shujāʿ ibn Aslam ibn Muḥammad ibn Shujā (c. 850 - c. 930) was the first major Arabic algebraist after al-Khwārizmī. By all accounts he was a prolific author. There are references to works with the titles Book of fortune, Book of the key to fortune, Book of the adequate, Book on omens, Book of the kernel, Book of the two errors, and Book on augmentation and diminution. None of these have survived. Works that did survive include the Book on algebra, the Book of rare things in the art of calculation, Inheritance by means of algebra, and the Book on surveying and geometry.
