Papyrus of Ahmose or Mathematical Rhind (1500 BC); an oldest Manuscript written in Algebra and Trigonometry.
Manuscript shows that Egyptians used first-order equations and solved them in several ways. They also know quadratic equations and solve them. They also know numerical and geometric sequences and know quadratic equations like two :
X2 + y2 = 100,
Y = 3/4 x, where x = 8, y = 6,
This equation is origin of Pythagoras theorem, a2 = b 2 + c 2, and Egyptians used to call unknown number (koom).
Pythagoras developed his mathematical theories after travelling to Egypt and learning from Egyptian priests, and this has been proven in books of Greek historians and scholars such as Farpharius of Sour, Herodotus and Thales.
Egyptians had Algebra, Trigonometry, and Geometry about 2000 years before birth of Pythagoras and about 3000 years prior to al-Khwarizmi being born.
