The author states that he has found the complete copy of Al-Baghdādī's main treatise, which he estimates to be one of the most important contributions to arithmetic by the medieval Arab scholars. He draws the following three commented examples from the treatise: 1) seeking \(x\) such that squared \(x+/-a\) is a perfect square, 2) calculating annual dues on savings, and 3) the game of guessing ``hidden'' numbers. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0881.00050].
