Black Inventors and scientists have been largely ignored in History, I need some good stories for a display my friend is doing. I'm looking at maths and will then go on to science and tech. so a push in the right direction would be very nice.

Does "black" = any non-Caucasian ?

The word algebra is a Latin variant of the Arabic word al-jabr. This came from the title of a book, Hidab al-jabr wal-muqubala, written in Baghdad about 825 A.D. by the Arab mathematician Mohammed ibn-Musa al-Khowarizmi.

Perhaps you could indicate the skin tone threshold for "black" on a Dulux colour brochure, or provide an albedo threshold value
