Should Mwalimu-G be banned for life for his unrelenting, tiresome, prejudiced, biased, half-baked criticisms of the Ruto Administration?

The 'ayes' have it.
Several listers actually have never moved on while their tingod who they refer to as 'their father' is enjoying life.

Must have hurt so bad to see Ruto being well received in Luo Nyanza and being celebrated for the astute leader that he is!

THE LEGEND OF AL - KHWARIZMI

Almost every social media user today is familiar with the term "algorithm" but not so many people know the man which it is named after.

Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmi was a renowned 9th century Persian polymath of the Islamic Golden Age or Abbasid Era, from the Khwarazm region in modern day Turkmenistan/Uzbekistan. Appointed as the astronomer and head of the library of the House of Wisdom in Baghdad circa 820 CE, his works were very influential in
mathematics, astronomy and geography.

For example, it was his book "al-Kitāb al-Mukhtaṣar fī Ḥisāb al-Jabr wal-Muqābalah" (The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing) that established Algebra as an independent discipline in Mathematics and for that he is revered as the father of Algebra. As a matter of fact, the word "Algebra" is derived from "al-Jabr" in the title of the book meaning "completion".

Also, it was the Latin translations of his books kitāb al-ḥisāb al-hindī (Book of Indian computation) and kitab al-jam' wa'l-tafriq al-ḥisāb al-hindī (Addition and subtraction in Indian arithmetic) that introduced the decimal positional number system to the Western World. Al-Khwārizmi was Latinized as "Algorizmi" in the translations, eventually becoming the modern day English word "Algorithm".

May be you referring to akina quokowqqu 4000 some of us have done History of mathematics !
