Which function did al-Khwarizmi describe that facilitated tracking inheritance share variations in medieval Islamic law?

💡 Explanation

Al-Khwarizmi's work heavily involved understanding how different shares of inheritance affected resolving estates through complex equations using algebra. Therefore solving particular formulations with complex roots was central rather than series or trigonometry which relate to infinite convergence and triangulation in cartography respectively.
