The Persian astronomer, mathematician, and poet Omar Khayyam (1048-ca. 1132) made important contributions to mathematics, but his chief claim to fame, at least in the last 100 years, has been as the author of a collection of quatrains, the "Rubaiyat."

Al-Khwarizmi Abu Abdullah Muhammad bin Musa al- Khwarizmi, (780 - 840 C.E.) was a Persian mathematician, scientist, and author. He worked in Baghdad and wrote all his works in Arabic. He developed the concept of an algorithm in mathematics. The words "algorithm" and "algorism" derive ultimately from his name. Statue of Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi in Khiva, Ouzbekistan

Perhaps one of the most significant contributions of Khawarizmi to mathematics was that he was the one who invented the digit zero. The Arabic word for zero “siphr” is the origin of the English word cipher, which although now is used mostly to refer to cryptography, was used to mean zero until the 19th century.
Of great importance also was al-Khwarizmi’s contribution to medieval geography. He systematized and corrected Ptolemy’s research in geography, using his own original findings that are entitled as Surat al-Ard (The Shape of the Earth)
