The history of the orders of mathmatical
might
Diophantus of Alexandria
Little is known about the life of Diophantus. He lived in Alexandria, Egypt, probably from between 200 and 214 to 284 or 298 AD. While most scholars consider Diophantus to have been a Greek others speculate him to have been a non-Greek, possibly either a Hellenized Babylonian, an Egyptian, a Jew, or a Chaldean. Much of our knowledge the life of Diophantus is derived from a 5th century Greek texts
much of his life is a mystery to historians.

Muhammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī
was a Persian Islamic mathematician, astronomer, astrologer and geographer. He was born around 780 in Khwārizm (now Khiva, Uzbekistan) and died around 850. He worked most of his life as a scholar in the House of Wisdom in Baghdad.
His Algebra was the first book on the systematic solution of linear and quadratic equations. Consequently he is considered to be the father of algebra, a title he shares with Diophantus.

math based magic orders were founded

Muhammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī

as the order of the abacus. Muhammad founded the al-gabr al-muqābala, these two similar
magic organisations are today the most
bitter of enemys. How the feud started
is unknown what is known is that it
has lasted centurys with assasinations,
murders, and other attrocitys being
