Here's a better algebra history from Wikipedia:
Circa 150 AD: Hellenized Egyptian mathematician Hero of Alexandria,
treats algebraic equations in three volumes of mathematics.
Circa 200: Hellenized Babylonian mathematician Diophantus, who lived in
Egypt and is often considered the "father of algebra", writes his famous
Arithmetica, a work featuring solutions of algebraic equations and on
the theory of numbers.
