	~~{{Update\|''[[Assassin's Creed: Mirage]]''}}~~		'''Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi''' (c. 780 – c. 850), often referred to as just '''al-Khwarizmi''', was a [[Persia]]n polymath who lived during the [[Islamic Golden Age]] and produced vastly influential works in mathematics, astronomy, and geography.

			===Calculating the Earth's circumference===
			Around 830, al-Khwarizmi was part of a team of 70 mathematicians, which also included the triplet brothers [[Abu Jafar Muhammad ibn Musa\|Abu Jafar]], [[Ahmad ibn Musa\|Ahmad]] and [[Al-Hasan ibn Musa]],<ref name="DB 1">''[[Assassin's Creed: Mirage]]'' – [[Database: The Banu Musa Brothers]]</ref> that sought to recreate the experiment of the [[Greece\|Ancient Greek]] polymath [[Eratosthenes]] to calculate the [[Earth]]'s circumference. The team hoped to improve on their predecessor's method and diminish the risk of error by using points separated by a single degree.<ref name="DB 2">''[[Assassin's Creed: Mirage]]'' – [[Database: Calculating the Earth's Circumference]]</ref>

			Traveling from [[Baghdad]] to the surrounding desert and trying to follow a North-South road, the mathematicians stopped once they reached a point where the elevation of the {{wiki\|Pole star}} had changed by a degree. In the end, the experiment produced results similar to Eratosthenes' findings.<ref name="DB 2" />
