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.

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