ABSTRACT
This study was conducted in a bibliographic research on the emergence of the
Arab Empire which had its constitution apartir the origin of Islam, being a
society was founded by the prophet Muhammad. It was after the death of the
Prophet Muhammad, Arabia was unified. From this union, driven by Islamic
religious doctrine, began the expansion of the Arab empire. In addition to
providing the concept of zero, zero in Roman numerals used until then, had ten
symbols (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9), providing a much simpler writing of
numbers of the seven Roman symbols (I, V, X, L, C, D and M). Was itself the

from medieval Spain, before giving rise to the figures we know today. A full
demonstration of the universality of Islam and brotherhood and equality among
Muslims is the answer to the call of God, Muslims of all ages, from all walks of
life, coming from all over the world gather in Mecca . Thus when presented
before the numbering forms and methods of calculation which came from India,
the Arabs were able to enjoy its advantages, recognizing its superiority and
adopt them in your life. In the eleventh century, the activity of translators and
compilers of works Arabs, Greeks and Hindus flourished in Spain developing a
large role in the emergence of great writers. This quarrel lasted for several
centuries and even after the apparent victory of the algor, the continued use of
the abacus. In the eighteenth century it was still taught. In the Western world
only after the French Revolution was marked the end of this chapter in the
history of mechanical counters. The story says it was exactly because of the
weight of these counters have been abolished from schools and public
administrations. Abu Abd Allah Muhammad ibn Musa Al-Khowarizmi was an
Arab mathematician who was from Khowarezm, the region south of the Aral
Sea, at the height of Persia occupied by Arabs. One of the first mathematicians
