Introduction
In this WebQuest, students will explore how modern day Algebra came about. The person of interest here is Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi, who is known for the father of Algebra. As you know, in most of your time spent in Mathematics courses, tons of time is spent going over Algebraic topics. But how did Algebra come about??? Why is this so important to our every-day lives? What would a modern-day world look like if the concepts in algebra were not discovered? This WebQuest will hopefully answer these questions. This will be accomplished by having a team of researchers find out the historical facts about Algebra and Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi to piece together and solve this mathematical mystery.
