He was the author of the book "Kitab al-jabr w'al-muqabala" (Rules of Restoration and Reduction) which introduced algebra to people in the West. The word ALGEBRA itself originates from AL-JABR from the book title. The word ALGORISM orignally referred only to the rules of performing arithmetic using Hindu-Arabic numerals, but evolved into "algorithm" by the XVIII-th century. The word has nowadays evolved to include all definite procedures for solving problems, including cooking :)
