Ibn AL-haytham
he was an Arab mathematician he also was an astronomer. he made huge contributions to the principles optics and scientific experiments. he tried to prove that astrology was a science based on mathematical proof.
optics- Alhazen realized that light has its origin outside the observer. that the rays on their way hits the objects and we see and object when the rays from the object enter our eyes. Aristotle already proposed this idea Alhazen described the eye and its functioning and he made mathematical descriptions of the properties of light he proposed that light moves with infinite speed. it moves more slowly in dense area.
astronomy Claudius Prolemy was a Greek roman citizen of Egypt who wrote in Greek. he was a mathematician and astronomer a geographer an astrologer and a poet. Cladius died in Alexandria in 168 AD. Ptolemy was the author of several scientific treatises at least three of which were continuing importance to later Islamic and European science. the first is the astronomical treatise now known as the Almagest. the second is the Geography wish is a thorough discussion of the geographic knowledge of the Grecoroman world the third is the astrological treatise known in Greek as the Apotelesmatika and in Latin as the Quadriartium (4 books) in which he attempted to adapt horoscope astrology to the Aristotelian natural philosophy is his day.
Math 8-14 centuries- the Islamic empire established across Persia the middle east central Asia north Africa Iberia, and parts of India that made significant contributions to math they were able to draw on and fuse together the math developments of Greece and India. the Islamic used complex geometric patterns to decorate their buildings and raising math to the form of art.
Science8-14 centuries
Muslim scientists drew ideas from other cultures to produce the modern and science and technology that we have today. Arabic was the language of science. free trade movement of people goods and ideas.
Muhammad and Diophantus share the title of father of algebra. in the 12 century the decimal positional number system was introduced to the western world this system was made from the indian numerals. and the Latin translations of arithmetic.
