He has created and Tangen Secans use in the investigation trigonometry and astronomy. In young age he worked under the rule of Caliph al-Ma'mun, working in the Bayt al-Hikmah in Baghdad. He worked in an observatory is a place to study mathematics and astronomy. Al-Khwarizmi also be trusted to lead the library of the caliph. He has introduced the figures of India and Indian ways of calculating the Islamic world. He is also an author of the Encyclopedia in a variety of disciplines. Al-Khwarizmi was a figure who first introduced algebra and computation. Many other science that he learned in the field of mathematics and produce mathematical concepts that are so popular are still in use today.

ROLE AND CONTRIBUTION AL-Khwarizmi
Contribution in the form of the work of which is:
1. Al-Jabr wa'l Muqabalah: he has created and tangens secans use in the investigation trigonometry and astronomy.

2.Hisab al-Jabr wa al-Muqabalah: He has submitted examples of math problems and suggests 800 problems most of which are issues raised by Neo. Babylian in the form of allegations that have been proven to be true by al-Khwarizmi.

3.Sistem Number: He has introduced the concept of nature and he was important in the systems number today. His work on this one contains Cos, Sin and Tan in solving trigonometric equations, theorems and calculations isosceles triangle area of the triangle, square and circle in geometry.
Many other concepts in mathematics that have been introduced al-khawarizmi. The field of astronomy also made famous al-Khwarizmi. Astronomy can be interpreted as a science Falaq [the knowledge of the stars, which involves the study of the position, movement, and the thoughts and commentaries related to the star].

In terms of science, geometry is the science that examines matters related to the magnitude and the properties of space. Geometry was studied since the time of the pharaohs [2000SM]. Then Thales of Miletus introduced the Egyptian geometry to Greece as a science in the period of the 6th century BC. Onwards the Islamic scholars have perfected the rules of science education is primarily on ke9M century.
