The noun algebra comes from Arabic word al jebr, meaning "reunion of broken parts," which appeared in the title of mathematician al-Khwarizmi's famous book on equations.

It sure was a big invention, that is using a zero. The whole story is a good one about how religion holds a society back.

 

My wife was born also in 1948 just as charles was but less noticed. Well not by me, I notice her every day.

Anyway,there is a big question about weight-loss I have .....   Q: surely there is a way that is better and faster than the old-fashioned way of diet and exercise....  Eg, liposuction or  wegovy .

Unfortunately, you must remember that it took years to make yourself obese, therefore getting un-obese will take time. 

 

For most of us, weight loss is a matter of changing habits. We have become overweight by eating servings that are too large for our needs. We also need to allocate time to the preparation of our meals so that we don't give up and head off to the local takeaway to get a serving of food for our self which could actually feed two persons.
