Answer:

Columbus himself had made that assumption. His discoveries posed for him, as for others, a problem of identification. It seemed to be a question not so much of giving names to new lands as of finding the proper old names, and the same was true of the things that the new lands contained. Cruising through the Caribbean, enchanted by the beauty and variety of what he saw, Columbus assumed that the strange plants and trees were strange only because he was insufficiently versed in the writings of men who did know them. "I am the saddest man in the world," he wrote, "because I do not recognize them."

Answer:

Columbus didn't “discover” America — he never set foot in North America. During four separate trips that started with the one in 1492, Columbus landed on various Caribbean islands that are now the Bahamas as well as the island later called Hispaniola. He also explored the Central and South American coasts.

maksim [4K]

Answer:

al-Khawarzmi.

Explanation:

Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khawarzmi born in c. 780 in Khwarezm, was known to be a famous Persian polymath with great works in various fields such as geography, astronomy and mathematics. One of the notable position held by al-Khawarzmi is being appointed as head of the library of the House of Wisdom in Baghdad, Iraq.

Basically, in his work titled "The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing" he introduced the first solution to linear and quadratic equation by using the completing the square method. Consequently, he is considered to be the father of algebra based on the introduction of the reduction and balancing methods for solving algebraic equations.

Hence, al-Khawarzmi was the Muslim to form the concept of algebra with respect to his book titled "Hisab Al-jabr w'al-muqabala."
