The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It was a landmark work in the history of mathematics, with its title being the ultimate etymology of the word "algebra" itself, later borrowed into Medieval Latin as algebrāica.
- Al-Jabr provided an exhaustive account of solving for the positive roots of polynomial equations up to the second degree.
- It was the first text to teach elementary algebra, and the first to teach algebra for its own sake.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Al-Jabr article was read about 75,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 61 and blocks with 47: each hit it takes is cut by 19 %.
