(Redirected from Al-Uqlidisi)
'Abu'l Hasan Ahmad ibn Ibrahim Al-Uqlidisi' was an Arab mathematician, possibly from Damascus. He wrote the earliest surviving book on the positional use of the Hindu-Arabic numerals, around 952. It is especially notable for its treatment of decimal fractions, and that it showed how to carry out calculations without deletions.
