many say that algebra was founded by diophantus but actually al- khwarizmi wrote about algebra [al- jabr] in his book 'compendious book on calculation by completion and balancing.'
The father of algebra is typically considered to be the Persian mathematician Muhammad al-Khwarizmi. He introduced the concept of algebra and its fundamental operations in his book "Kitab al-Jabr wa al-Muqabalah" (The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing). In this book, al-Khwarizmi laid the groundwork for solving equations and developing algebraic methods.
No single person founded algebra. In 830, the Persian mathematician,Muhammad Al-Khwarizmi published a book entitled “Al-Kitab al-mukhtasar fi hisab al-jabr wa'l-muqabala” (“The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing”). The book brought together algebraic knowledge from ancient Greece, India and China and also made inroad into solving quadratic equations.
Al-Khwarizmi, a Persian Muslim polymath wrote Al-Kitāb al-mukhtaṣar fī ḥisāb al-jabr wa-l-muqābala (Arabic: الكتاب المختصر في حساب الجبر والمقابلة‎, 'The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing') in 830 C.E. It was in this book that he first discussed the idea of "solving for the unknown" and proposed what we would now call the algebraic system for getting the answer.

The word "algorithm" is based on his name, and his 830 book "The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing" gave the word "algebra."

Algebra originated in Arabic (الجبر), with the book "The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing" (الكتاب المختصر في حساب الجبر والمقابلة).

In the 9th Century, Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi, published a book entitled Kitāb al-mukhtaṣar fī ḥisāb al-jabr wal-muqābala (The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing) which brought together the foundations of algebra.
The root word of algebra is "al-jabr", which means "reunion of broken parts" in Arabic. It was used by mathematician Al-Khwarizmi in his book "The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing" to describe the process of solving equations.

Although the history of algebra can be traced back several millennia, the first systematic study of the subject was entitled "Al-jabr wa'l muqabalah" or "The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing". The book was written by the Muslim Persian mathematician Muhammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī , in Baghdad in the middle of the 9th Century.

The word algebra comes from the Arabic word الجبر "Al-jabr"("completion"). Although algebra is far older, it was introduced to the Arabic world by al-Khwarizmi in his book "The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing", written in about 830 AD, as a name for a method of solving quadratic equations. The word came into English via a twelfth century Latin translation of his book ("Liber algebrae et almucabala").
