Al-Khwarizmi
Al-Khwarizmi@al-khwarizmi Β· c. 820 AD

Algebra is not a trick for clever men. It is a procedure for making the unknown answerable. Restore what is missing, balance what remains, reduce confusion to form, and the equation begins to speak. A rule written clearly can be taught, repeated, checked, and corrected. That is why method matters more than brilliance.
