Alexandria-Egypt and Early Alchemists Introduction 1-When Alexander the Great conquered Egypt in 33 B.C. and his general Ptolemy became
King of Egypt, the Greek city of Alexandria was founded, and soon became not only the
most important city of Egypt, but through the foundation of schools and the
accumulation of libraries became the acknowledged center of the intellectual world.
2-The collection of manuscripts is estimated at from 400,00 to 500,000 works. Scholars
from all parts of the then civilized world thronged there to take advantage of its books and its teachers. The culture which developed was a blending of Greek, Egyptian, Chaldean, Hebrew and Persian influences. Greek philosophy, Egyptian arts, Chaldean and

Arabic mathematics : forgotten brilliance?
Alphabetical list of History Topics History Topics Index
Version for printing Recent research paints a new picture of the debt that we owe to Arabic/Islamic mathematics. Certainly many of the ideas which were previously thought to have been brilliant new conceptions due to European mathematicians of the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries are now known to have been developed by Arabic/Islamic mathematicians around four centuries earlier. In many respects the mathematics studied today is far closer in style to that of the Arabic/Islamic contribution than to that of the Greeks. There is a widely held view that, after a brilliant period for mathematics when the Greeks laid the foundations for modern mathematics, there was a period of stagnation before the Europeans took over where the Greeks left off at the beginning of the sixteenth century. The common perception of the period of 1000 years or so between the ancient Greeks and the European Renaissance is that little happened in the world of mathematics except that some Arabic translations of Greek texts were made which preserved the Greek learning so that it was available to the Europeans at the beginning of the sixteenth century. That such views should be generally held is of no surprise. Many leading historians of mathematics have contributed to the perception by either omitting any mention of Arabic/Islamic mathematics in the historical development of the subject or with statements such as that made by Duhem in [

Mathematics in medieval Islam
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Redirected from Islamic mathematics Jump to: navigation search In the history of mathematics mathematics in medieval Islam , often termed Islamic mathematics , is the mathematics developed in the Islamic world between 622 and 1600, during what is known as the Islamic Golden Age , in that part of the world where Islam was the dominant religion. Islamic science and mathematics flourished under the Islamic caliphate (also known as the Islamic Empire) established across the Middle East Central Asia North Africa Southern Italy , the Iberian Peninsula , and, at its peak, parts of France and India as well. Islamic activity in mathematics was largely centered around modern-day Iraq and Persia , but at its greatest extent stretched from North Africa and Spain in the west to India in the east. While most scientists in this period were Muslims and wrote in Arabic many of the best known contributors were Persians as well as Arabs in addition to Berber Moorish and Turkic contributors, as well as some from other religions (

Download (29k) Welcome Memories of Maths Way back in the early 60s you used to get these buff coloured cardboard times tables at primary school. You were given three days to learn a times table and they were often tension-filled and fraught days. As you progressed through primary school you learned to hate those buff coloured times tables cards as they became progressively softer to the point of falling apart and then you were in real trouble because you had to learn the seven times table and it was on the half that you had recently lost.
Having survived the times tables the next stage was pure Maths in high school. Some pupils moved into Maffs whilst others remained in Maths. They used to separate Maths out into three different subjects- Maths, Arithmetic and Statistics- only the dead brainy ones got to do Stats. Ordinary mortals had to do Arithmetic and, criminally, had to sit an O Grade in both Maths and Arithmetic. The world of Maths was a strange world. It was a world where children shared sweets and did sums at the same time. It was a world where everyone did a mathematical calculation before they embarked on any project. It is a world full of Jims, Johns, Jeans and Marys. It almost had an Enid Blyton quality to it.

7. Our Non-Western Roots Of Science

Our non-Western roots of science
We shall consider the early development of science, and especially mathematics, from the Stone Age to the Renaissance, when the golden age of our Western science begun. The emphasis is in the influence of other cultures on our scientific tradition.
Beginning of science
We know the difficulties of telling scientific truth about history, and this problem is even more crucial when describing and explaining develeopment in prehistoric times. Thus, I don't argue that the following story is truth, but just my interpretation based on general beliefs and opinions, how the human thinking and science have developed. When people (especially our ancestors, Homo sapiens; we don't know if the Neanderthal people could speak) learnt to speak ( faculty of speech ), they could transfer their knowledge and experiences to their children, and the human knowledge begun to accumulate. The knowledge was not strictly separated from beliefs, but people still wanted to give explanations for all phenomena they experienced and thought. Certainly some pieces of that "knowledge" (our common sense knowledge) would still be considered as knowledge, but more difficult things like beginning of world, origins of people and all anmals, life and death were explained by stories. They were not accepted scientific theories, but more like hypotheses, which mixed fact and fiction. Development of agriculture have usually been considered as beginning of sivilization (society and culture) with permanent settlement. It is believed that use of numbers developed already before that, with cattle-farming (about 6000 B.C. or earlier), for the purposes of counting the animals. However, the

Johnson City, TN 37614 Arabic Translations of The Elements As Europe fell into the dark ages, the work of the classical period was preserved in the Arabic world. By the middle of the eighth century, all the important work in mathematics was being done by Islamic scholars. This would remain the case for the next several hundred years. Scholarship exploded in the Middle East, fueled in part by the availability of numerous ancient texts from Byzantium and elsewhere. In the ninth century and afterward, many of the classical works of the ancient world were translated from Greek into Arabic [Bardi, page 62]. Heath's introduction lists 31 Arabic translators of The Elements . We now mention a few of these.

Osotogary 01-02-08, 10:12 PM Algorism is the technique of performing basic arithmetic by writing numbers in place value form and applying a set of memorized rules and facts to the digits. This system largely superseded earlier calculation systems that used a different set of symbols for each numerical magnitude and in some cases required a device such as an abacus.
Starting with the integer arithmetic developed in India using base 10 notation, Arabian mathematicians documented new arithmetic methods and made many other contributions to decimal arithmetic. These included the concept of the decimal fractions as an extension of the notation, which in turn led to the notion of the decimal point.
The word algorism comes from the name al-Khwarizmi ("the one from Khwarizm") of an early 9th century Persian mathematician, possibly from what is now Khiva in western Uzbekistan. In English, it was first used about 1230 and then by Chaucer in 1391[1]. Another early use of the word is from 1240, in a manual titled Carmen de Algorismo composed by Alexandre de Villedieu. It begins thus:

As visual demonstrations of relationships such as the Pythagorean theorem, dissections have had a surprisingly rich history, reaching back to Arabian mathematicians a millennium
http://math.nmsu.edu/breakingaway/Lessons/T2S/Triangle2Square.htm
Triangle to square: A hinged dissection Background:
Greg Frederickson's book , was published in 2002 by Cambridge University Press. We thank him for this dissection, originally credited to Dudeney in 1907. We have adapted it for use with children. From his website, http://www.cs.purdue.edu/homes/gnf/book2.html "A geometric dissection is a cutting of a geometric figure into pieces that we can rearrange to form another figure. As visual demonstrations of relationships such as the Pythagorean theorem, dissections have had a surprisingly rich history, reaching back to Arabian mathematicians a millennium ago and Greek mathematicians more than two millennia ago. As mathematical puzzles they enjoyed great popularity a century ago, in newspaper and magazine columns written by the American Sam Loyd and the Englishman Henry Ernest Dudeney. Loyd and Dudeney set as a goal the minimization of the number of pieces. Their puzzles charmed and challenged readers, especially when Dudeney introduced an intriguing variation in his 1907 book The Canterbury Puzzles . After presenting the remarkable 4-piece solution for the dissection of an equilateral triangle to a square, Dudeney wrote: 'I add an illustration showing the puzzle in a rather curious practical form, as it was made in polished mahogany with brass hinges for use by certain audiences. It will be seen that the four pieces form a sort of chain, and that when they are closed up in one direction they form a triangle, and when closed in the other direction they form a square.

FamousMuslims.com Discussion Board Home Contact Scientists
OMAR AL-KHAYYAM Algebra would seem to rank first among the fields to which he contributed. He made an attempt to classify most algebraic equations, including the third degree equations and, in fact, offered solutions for a number of them. This includes geometric solutions of cubic equations and partial geometric solutions of most other equations. His book Maqalat fi al-Jabr wa al-Muqabila is a master- piece on algebra and has great importance in the development of algebra. His remarkable classification of equations is based on the complexity of the equations, as the higher the degree of an equation, the more terms, or combinations of terms, it will contain. Thus, Khayyam recognizes 13 different forms of cubic equatlon. His method of solving equations is largely geometrical and depends upon an ingenious selection of proper conics. He also developed the binomial expansion when the exponent is a positive integer. In fact, he has been considered to be the first to find the binomial theorem and determine binomial coefficients. In geometry, he studied generalities of Euclid and contributed to the theory of parallel lines. The Saljuq Sultan, Malikshah Jalal al-Din, called him to the new observatory at Ray around 1074 and assigned him the task of determining a correct solar calendar. This had become necessary in view of the revenue collections and other administrative matters that were to be performed at different times of the year. Khayyam introduced a calendar that was remarkably accurate, and was named as

    • Tale of an Arabic Mathematician
    Adjust font-size: Published March 26, 2007 by: G. Stolyarov II View Profile Follow Add to Favorites ... Pythagoras Legend has it that, during the seventh century AD, a number sprang out of the Arabian desert that had eluded the greatest minds of Egypt, Greece, and Rome, that neither Pythagoras nor Euclid nor Archimedes had ever come upon.
    If the name of the inventor of the zero had reached us, he would likely be as illustrious as any of them, for his character and wit certainly merited it. Alas, he lived during a barbarous time, when the young Islamic Caliphate was engaged in a brutal campaign of suppressing the "infidels" of all lands to which the sword of the fundamentalist warrior carried rivers of scarlet. At the head of the conquest was the Caliph Omar, a man with a simple mind and a simple credo: "All that is written which repeats the Koran is superfluous. All that is written which transcends the Koran is heretical." The torrents of blood the Caliph brought also swept away the great libraries of the era, and, for many years, all scholarship was declared a crime.
    Thus it was when the Caliph Omar's troops came to the city where the mathematician lived in a lush garden home, a residence that the commander of the invading forces found all too inviting. The commander realized that he could have anything in the city that he wished, only if he were given a pretext to execute an edict given him by the Caliph Omar. Because Omar did not believe in writing anything that was not in the Koran, he had only presented the order to the commander in words: "Nothing which is outside the Koran shall be tolerated." Violation of the Caliph's edict was tantamount to death, and the commander thus possessed the means to destroy almost anyone he chose.
