He is the founder of algebra. By the way, you just spelled his name wrong. It is Ptolemy just to let you know 😀

I found it at Wikipedia!!

“The Persian mathematician, astronomer, and geographer Muhammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī (ca. 780-850 AD),

the founder of algebra,

who revised and updated Ptolemy’s Geography, was of the opinion that Ptolemy was a descendant of a Roman emperor named Claudius and that was why he and his ancestors possessed that name.”
