This article discusses the mathematical heritage of al-Farabi, who left a rich scientific legacy that had a huge impact on the development of science. Using the works of A. Kubesov, the possibility of introducing alFarabi's geometric constructions into modern education was revealed, thanks to his use of the algorithmic approach to solving problems, and its applied orientation. It also states some research by al-Farabi that has been published. Some problems from mathematical treatises, geometric construction and their solution are considered.
