I normally don't comment on spelling mistakes or typos, since we all make errors. However, this is a little different. When I entered the name in the question in a google search, this is what came up and it has never hapened before. Your original search: Jabr-Ibn-E-Hayan returned zero results. If it is an error this is what you might be looking for Mathematician Jaber Ibn Hayan see: www.southend.wayne.edu/days/feb2002/ 2282002/oped/letters/letters2.html Jun 03 02, 6:19 AM

There was an Iranian chemist in the 700s-800s with a similar name. You can't 'correct' the spelling on this in English. As you probably know, other languages have different alphabets and there's no single correct transliteration between other languages and English. Many spellings may give similar sounds, but there's no single 'right' spelling, unless you write the word in Arabic, or Farsi, depending on which person you're talking about. Witness the different spellings of 'Al Qaeda/Al Qaida' 'Taliban/Taleban' in different papers. Neither is 'right,' nor correctable. Jun 04 02, 5:05 AM
