MOHAMMAD BIN MUSA AL-KHAWARIZMI
(Died 840 A.D.)
Continued from last week
He developed in detail trigonometric tables
containing the sine functions, which were probably
extrapolated to tangent functions by Maslama. He
also perfected the geometric representation of conic
sections and developed the calculus of two errors,
which practically led him to the concept of
differentiation.
The development of astronomical tables by him was
a significant contribution to the science of astronomy,
on which he also wrote a book. The contribution of
Khawarizmi to geography is also outstanding, in that
not only did he revise Ptolemy's views on geography,

Reminders About Policies.
Please read the following important points regarding

Several of his books were translated into Latin in the
early 12th century. In fact, his book on arithmetic,
Kitab al-Jam'a wal- Tafreeq bil Hisab al-Hindi, was lost
in Arabic but survived in a Latin translation. His book
on algebra, Al-Maqala fi Hisab-al Jabr wa-alMuqabilah, was also translated into Latin in the 12th
century, and it was this translation which introduced
this new science to the West "completely unknown till
then". He astronomical tables were also translated
into European languages and, later, into Chinese. His
geography captioned Kitab Surat-al-Ard, together
with its maps, was also translated. In addition, he
wrote a book on the Jewish calendar Istikhraj Tarikh
al-Yahud, and two books on the astrolabe. He also
wrote Kitab al-Tarikh and his book on sun-dials was
captioned Kitab al-Rukhmat, but both of them have
been lost.

Students must be present at school prior to the
assembly bell at 8.20am.
Parents / Guardians MUST accompany late
students into the school or provide a note to

The Thrown Tooth
One day I was living happily in Jordan’s mouth. After
sometime I started to wobble a lot. Jordan’s dad got
a tissue and fold it and said to Jordan to open his
mouth. I was scared because Jordan’s dad pressed
on me. I got hurt. There was blood around me.
Jordan’s
rdan’s dad pulled me as hard as he could. I fell
out. Then Jordan’s dad was looking for me. When he
found me, he chucked me into the bin. I felt yukky.

I lived very happy in my tree. Then one day I got
picked up by a farmer and he took me in a truck
filled with other apples. I felt dizzy from the truck
driving. When the farmer arrived he gave me nice
wash and dried me. I was so shiny and he sold me at
the market. A girl bought me. When she was about to
eat me I screamed “AAAAAAAAhhhhhhhhh”
She put me between her teeth. I was dead.
