Explanation
The Muslim scientist known for writing numerous books on Algebra, Astronomy, and Arithmetic was **Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi**. He made significant contributions in these fields and is particularly famous for his work on algebra, which led to the term "Algebra" itself, derived from his book "Kitab al-Jabr wal-Muqabala" (The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing). Al-Khwarizmi's works greatly influenced the development of mathematics and science in the Islamic Golden Age.

About Measurements
Physical quantities are expressed with SI base and derived units, while measurement limits are described through accuracy, precision, absolute and percentage error, and significant figures. Dimensional analysis checks equations, derives relationships and detects inconsistent units, but it cannot determine numerical constants or distinguish quantities with identical dimensions.
