ALGEBRA & ALGORITHM: HINDU INVENTION
Mohammedans often falsely take credit for the invention of Algebra & Algorithm crediting them to Al-Khwarizmi.
However both Algorithm & algebra has been used and developed in Indian(Hindu) mathematics over the ages much before Islam was born which was later translated by Al khwarizmi.

Islamic golden age of science & maths started when Al Mamun of Baghdad invited Indian astronomers & mathematicians to its court and got many Hindu mathematic treatises translated. Al Khwarizmi also served in Mamun’s court as a translator of Indian mathematics.
His own books were directly named Kitab al-Hisab al Hindi (which translates to book of Indian mathematics) & Zij-al Sind hind (translation:Astronomy table from India.

ALGORITHM:
The word “Algorithm” got its name from the latinised version of Al Khwarizmi work named “Algoritmi de numero Indorum”
Guess what the name means.
“Al-Khwarizmi on the Indian Numbers”

Earlier it was known to academics and translators that Al Khwarizmi’s works are nothing but translations from Indian mathematics until Mohamedans started plagiarising it as their own invention.
Sulbasütras are part of kalpasutras, which are one of the six Vedängas. These are essentially manuals for geometrical constructions of Vedic altars. Baudhayana, Äpastamba, Katyayana etc. are some of the Sulbasütras.
Algorithm has been part of these ancient Sulvasutras from Vedic time, then advanced in medieval mathematics of Kerala school.

Algorithms were invented by Indians to make, fire altars in astronomy & many other reasons.
Some evidence of geometrical algorithms in the Apastamba Sulbasütra much before Al khwarizmi was born.

Not just Al khwarizmi, Mohamedan religion itself wasnt born when katyayana Sulbasutra formulated its algorithm.
The first clear enunciation of the cube root algorithm is found in Aryabhatiya by Renowned mathematician Aryabhata:
Kuṭṭaka is an algorithm for finding integer solutions of linear Diophantine equations. The algorithm was originally invented by the Indian astronomer-mathematician Āryabhaṭa.
They are important in astronomy also, for instance, in the calculation of Ahargana (the number of days elapsed from a given epoch) from the mean longitudes of planets.
The above shows India's advancement in Astronomy & algorithm being an important factor to achieve it.
Coming to Astronomy, In the book Al Beruni's India, Sachau writes how Indians went to Baghdad with books like Brahmasiddhanta & the first time Arabs became acquainted with astronomy because of Indians.
So how did India advance so much in Astronomy without knowing the algorithm?
Maths is not mathing here. Lol
