Thesis Statement
In a time and place where learning was the center of all society and belief, algebra was among the most important subjects studied by great Islamic scholars. All the benefits that it reaped not only for the Muslims, but for the entire world, can be seen even in today's time through its revolution of mathematics, engineering, and economic opportunities. The development of algebra is truly among the greatest innovations of all time.

"As a student of history, I also know civilization's debt to Islam. It was Islam -- at places like Al-Azhar -- that carried the light of learning through so many centuries, paving the way for Europe's Renaissance and Enlightenment. It was innovation in Muslim communities ... that developed the order of algebra; our magnetic compass and tools of navigation; our mastery of pens and printing; our understanding of how disease spreads and how it can be healed. Islamic culture has given us majestic arches and soaring spires; timeless poetry and cherished music; elegant calligraphy and places of peaceful contemplation. And throughout history, Islam has demonstrated through words and deeds the possibilities of religious tolerance and racial equality."
