Muhammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī

Consequently he is considered to be the father of algebra,[6] a title he shares with Diophantus. Latin translations of his Arithmetic, on the Indian numerals, introduced the decimal positional number system to the Western world in the 12th century.[5] He revised and updated Ptolemy's Geography as well as writing several works on astronomy and astrology.

His contributions not only made a great impact on mathematics, but on language as well. The word algebra is derived from al-jabr, one of the two operations used to solve quadratic equations, as described in his book.

Avicenna

Avicenna was a Persian polymath and the foremost physician and Islamic philosopher of his time. He was also an astronomer, chemist, Hafiz, logician, mathematician, physicist, poet, psychologist, scientist, Sheikh, soldier, statesman and theologian.

His most famous works are The Book of Healing, a vast philosophical and scientific encyclopaedia, and The Canon of Medicine, which was a standard medical text at many Islamic and European universities up until the early 19th century .
Ibn Sīnā is regarded as a father of early modern medicine, and clinical pharmacology particularly for his introduction of systematic experimentation and quantification into the study of physiology,] his discovery of the contagious nature of infectious diseases, the introduction of quarantine to limit the spread of contagious diseases, the introduction of experimental medicine, evidence-based medicine, clinical trials, randomized controlled trials,

    Leonardo Pisano Bigollo, better known as Fibonacci, was an Italian mathematician during the 13th century. He is often referred to as "the most talented Western mathematician of the Middle Ages” due to his great contribution in European mathematics. When he was a young boy, Fibonacci went on a trip with his father to North Africa. It was there that he became familiar with Arabic mathematics. Using the knowledge he gained during his trip, he wrote a book titled “Liber Abaci” (Which translates to “Book of Calculation”). In it, Fibonacci gives multiple reasons as to why Europeans should favor the Hindu-Arabic numeral system over Roman numerals. He claimed that it would especially make a greater impact on merchants and mathematicians due to their…

    Greek mathematicians from the 7th Century BC, such as Pythagoras and Euclid are the reasons for our fundamental understanding of mathematic science today. Adopting elements of mathematics from both the Egyptians and the Babylonians while researching and added their own works has lead to important theories and formulas used for all modern mathematics and science.…

    From the field of mathematics came Al-Kwarizmi's textbook on Algebra (document 4), which was used throughout Europe and beyond; and also Arabic numerals which were adopted from the Indians and used in a place-value system (document 4). These advancements were made possible because of the knowledge of both Indian and Greek mathematics, which were studied by Muslim scholars before the creation of any Islamic…

    Medicine is important because without medicine people would be miserable and their pain wouldn’t go away. Muslims also expanded the practice of medical schools and hospitals” The Abbasid Caliph Harun Al Rashid used the Sasanian academy of jundishapur in southwestern Iran as his model when he founded his own hospital in baghdad (ca. 800). Muslim physicians too studied works by ancient Greeks scholars. They improved on Greek medical practices. The greatest Muslim doctor was Ibn Sina, known in Europe as Avicenna, he wrote books on medicine philosophy and other topics. Others may say that hygiene is more important and that it changed the world even more, but in others opinions medicine is the reason for…

    “Hippocrates (460-370 BCE), the father of medicine, developed principles for medical diagnosis and treatment together with a code of ethics. When the first Ptolemy ruled Egypt, he created a great library of 700,000 rolls at Alexandria, which became a repository for the works of Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Hippocrates, and all the writings of the known world, but it was destroyed by a great fire. Galen of Pergamum (129-216), who lived 500 years after Hippocrates, was well educated and studied anatomy, surgery, drugs and Hippocratic medicine. His ideas influenced medical thinking for the next 1500 years”…

    Medicine and pharmacologyThe book is known for its description of contagious diseases and sexually transmitted diseases,[46] quarantine to limit the spread of infectious diseases, and testing of medicines. Ibn Sīnā adopted, from the Greeks, the theory that epidemics are caused by pollution in the air (miasma).[47] It classifies and describes diseases, and outlines their assumed causes. Hygiene, simple and complex medicines, and functions of parts of the body are also covered. The Canon agrees with Aristotle (and disagrees with Hippocrates) that tuberculosis was contagious, a fact which was not universally accepted in Europe until centuries later. It also describes the symptoms and complications of diabetes. Both forms of facial paralysis were described in-depth.…

    Diophantus

    Little is known about the life of the Greek mathematician Diophantus. However, his work led to one of the greatest mathematical challenges of all time, Fermat's last theorem. He was born in Alexandria somewhere between 200 and 214 BC. Alexandria was the center of Greek culture and knowledge and Diophantus belonged to the ‘Silver Age’ of Alexandria. Altough little is known about his life, according to his riddle, he got married when he was 33, had a son who lived for 42 years and was 84 when he died. During his life, Diophantus wrote the Arithmetica, the Porismata, the Moriastica, and On Polygonal Numbers. Arithmetica originally had thirteen books, out of which we only have six. It is a collection of problems giving numerical solutions of both determinate and indeterminate equations. The information from these books tell us that Diophantus studied from Babylonian teachers. Porismata is a collection of lemmas, although the book is entirely lost. One such lemma is that the difference of the cubes of two rational numbers is equal to the sum of the cubes of two other rational numbers. The Moriastica is thought to have treated computation with fractions. Only fragments of Diophantus' books On Polygonal Numbers, a topic of great interest to Pythagoras and his followers, have survived. Diophantus is often called “the Father of Algebra" because he contributed greatly to number theory, mathematical notation, and because Arithmetica contains the earliest known use of syncopated notation.…

    Alhazen Ibn al-Haytham, born 965ce – 1039ce an Arab /Persian scientist and polymath, also significant contributions to the principals of optics, as well as to physics, anatomy, astronomy, engineering, mathematics, medicine, ophthalmology, philosophy, psychology, visual perception, and to science in general with his early application of the scientific method. After being ordered by Al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah, the sixth ruler of the Fatimid Caliphate, to carry out this operation, he quickly perceived the impossibility of what he was attempting to do, and retired from engineering. Fearing for his life, he feigned madness and was placed under house arrest from 1011 – 1021, during and after which he devoted himself to his scientific work until his death. Ibn al-Haytham most famous works, Books of optics, which he has been ranked Isaac Newton’s Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (PNPM) as one of the most influential books in physics for introducing an early scientific method, and for initiating a revolution in optics and visual perception. Ibn al-Haytham made significant improvements in optics, physical science, and the scientific method which influenced the development of science for over five hundred years after his death. During his time in Cairo, he became associated with Al- Azhar University, as well as the city’s “House of Widsom”, known as Dar Al- Hekma (House of Knowledge) which was a library “first in importance” to Baghdad’s House of Wisdom. Ibn al-Haytham was famous for the three things which are famous Muslim scientist/ Physics, mathematician, and Astronomical Works.…
