[new] Mathematicians born in what is now Iraq (none / 0) (#1)
by overconvergent on Tue Mar 30, 2004 at 06:03:06 PM PDT

A quick Google tells me that the MacTutor archive has a page for mathematicians born in Iraq. The most famous is Abu Ja'far Muhammad ibn Musa Al-Khwarizmi, who lends his name to the word algorithm.

It seems that there are universities in Iraq doing mathematics: the ones I could find online are the University of Salahaddin, the University of Sulaimany, the University of Dohuk, and several others which appear not to have easily findable websites, which are listed here.
