In the 11th century, the Persian poet-mathematician, Omar Khayyám (1048–1131), made significant progress in the theory of cubic equations.
His original works and translations, especially of Shakespeare, of Omar Khayyám and Blasco Ibáñez, are immortal.
Among his better known works were an edition of Persian polymath Omar Khayyám (L'algèbre d'Omar Alkhayyami, publiée, traduite et accompagnée d'extraits des manuscrits inédits, 1851) and an edition of Fakhri Muhammad Alkarajî (Extrait du Fakhrî, traité d'algèbre par Mohammed Alkarkbi, précédé d'un mémoire sur l'algèbre indéterminée chez les Arabes, 1853).
In this field, his today still well-known translation of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam has been published in several editions.
