History

vovikov84 [41]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

Indeed, Al Khwarizmi (Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī) works on mathematics has impacted our understanding of mathematics today.

For example, Al Khwarizmi has been attributed as the founder of algebra, an interesting branch of mathematics. That is to say, if not for his works on algebra, we may not have had proper knowledge about solving equations (quadratic equations).

One of his interesting quote that reflects our modern understanding of mathematics is,

<em>"When I consider what people generally want in calculating, I found that it always is a number. I also observed that every number is composed of units, and that any number may be divided into units. Moreover, I found that every number which may be expressed from one to ten, surpasses the preceding by one unit: afterwards the ten is doubled or tripled just as before the units were: thus arise twenty, thirty, etc. until a hundred: then the hundred is doubled and tripled in the same manner as the units and the tens, up to a thousand;… so forth to the utmost limit of numeration."</em>

Use the information from the lesson and the reading from the assignment to answer the question: How has the issue of race shaped
ollegr [7]

The issue of race in South Africa is an ongoing societal conflict. This conflict seemingly began in the colonial-era when the South African region attracted European attention with its minerals, riches, and resources. This led to areas being governed by both the British and Dutch, who even after the abolishment of slavery in the area, continued to bring in slaves. During the apartheid era, white majority rule was maintained and promoted the separation of whites and people of color (Africans, Indians, and Asians) who were sometimes former slaves. Post-apartheid (apartheid=segregation by race) South Africa’s history still feels the effects of these past issues with the continuing violence, racism, and hate crimes between whites and people of color in the area.
