We are working on a 9th grade project and need to know as much 
as we can about al-Karkhi.  Could you help point us in the right 
direction?

Thank you.

Hello there!

If you use a Web searcher like Google 

   http://www.google.com    

to look for al-Karkhi you'll find him more often listed as 
al-Karaji.  Here's a site with some information about him:

I hope this helps!
