Rizm". d" (d. 1037), a formula for approximating the square root of an integer N. rizm", the Ban# M#s! gave in their Book on the Measurement of Plane and Spherical Figures21 another expression which will later be called ‘the rule of zeros’, and generalized it without difficulty for the extraction of the nth root. It is the expression (2) with m and k two integers. If one puts m=60 and n=3, one has the expression by the Ban# M#s!. This rule is found in the majority of books on arithmetic.
X)=0. He next calculates which allows him to justify the three cases considered previously. He next determines the two positive roots x1 and x2. He puts x2=x0+y; this affine transformation leads to the equation y3+ay2=k with k=c0%c=4a3/27%c, an equation already solved by in the first part of the Treatise. He next justifies this affine transformation. He uses also the affine transformation x1=y+a%x2, with y a positive solution of an equation solved earlier in the Treatise. justifies this last affine transformation and finally shows that x1#x0 and x1#x2.
Such a necessity was felt when the rules of combinatorial calculation were starting to be applied for dealing with problems as much mathematical as non-mathematical, but that were wanting to be solved mathematically. The example of testifies in some way to this fact; the combinatorial interpretation is obviously there, very probably before the thirteenth century, as we are now in a position to show thanks to a text hitherto unknown, by the mathematician and philosopher al-D"n (1201–73). The reading of this 6 text shows that he knew this interpretation, and presents it totally naturally as an accepted thing and expresses it in terminology that one will find, totally or in part, among his successors.
