This book begins a multi-volume set that finally brings al-Kshs groundbreaking textbook to English audiences in its entirety. As soon as it was studied by modern researchers, it changed some false assumptions about the history of certain topics in mathematics. Written as a textbook for students of mathematics, accounting, engineering, and architecture, Miftah covers a wide range of topics in arithmetic, geometry, and algebra. By sharing al-Kshs most comprehensive work with a wider audience, this book will help establish a more complete history of mathematics, and extend al-Kshs influence into the 21st century and beyond.

The authenticity of this translation contributes to the understanding and appreciation of al-Kshs esteemed place in the scientific world.
