Which simplification was enabled by the introduction of symbolic algebra during the Islamic Golden Age in astronomical calculations?

💡 Explanation

The increased ability to symbolize relationships algebraically enabled significant speedup in creating detailed ephemeris tables, because complex geometric functions could be distilled to algebraic expressions facilitating iterative computation. Therefore efficient ephemeris creation results, rather than enhanced parallax, accurate longitude, or empirical prediction since those are based on observational capabilities and numeric data, not primarily algebra.
