The Narrative of his Life:

In 1882 Darwin was born, When he grew up he always studied  wanted to study nature, even though his Father wanted him to be a doctor or a priest. In his 30s he decided to sale to the south of America, because he wanted to study connect exotic specimens. What he found was amazing, He thought to hi self what if species weren’t as permanent and perfect as people thought. In Argentina Darwin found fossils of a Species that existed before. Clearly the species was a older version of a Sloth.This proved it to hi that species have changed over time. He  also saw mocking birds, while saying, When he got to the Galapagos he saw different mocking birds on the island. They wer different from each other. He found out the reason why they were different is because of the place they live in when it is cold they evolve to a different version, when it is warmer in that place they evolve in a different way. Like us humans, some of us have brown eyes because we live in this place, and these eyes are better. Some live in the cold and they evolve and have different eye color. Unfortunately he could not prove that so quickly, because the place he lived in was very religious and did not believe in these things. So After years of waiting and finishing the book he wrote, Finally people noticed and claimed him as “Charles Darwin the one who discovered evolution”

Omar Khayyam was born in 1048 in May 18  in Iran. He was raised by his Moms name is unknown and his Fathers name was Ebrahim Khayyami. The city was called Nishapur, in northern Persia. He was mot known for the brilliant matmatican. His father was a physician. To teach Omar he brought him a tutor who taught  him math science physic Avicenna, an so on. He was a great student. He taught him everything he needed to be like his father. Before when Omar was younger Omar worked in his father’s  surgery.there he learned about medicine and and how to be a doctor.

In Algebra we learn ax2 + bx + c = 0; these are called quadratic equations. A Cubic equation is from a form ax3 + bx2 + cx + d = 0. Khayyam conjectured correctly that it is not possible to solve this. You will need geometric tools or other methods to do this. At age of 22 in 1070 Khayyam published his book. E said that this is one of his greatest works he has ever done. This book showed the right way to solve the equations. He made a sketch which showed the language of modern mathematic. Which shows the right way of solving equations in Algebra. He became very famous and was very smart. He also created a lot of  other books, which were inspired by many people.
