👉 Muslims have a rich history of mathematical and computational advancements, deeply rooted in Islamic Golden Age (8th to 14th centuries). They made significant contributions to algebra, a term derived from the name of the Persian mathematician Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi, who introduced systematic solutions to linear and quadratic equations. Muslims also excelled in trigonometry, developing sophisticated methods for calculating angles and distances, which were crucial for astronomy and navigation. In computation, they perfected the decimal system, including the concept of zero, which revolutionized arithmetic. Islamic scholars also translated and preserved ancient Greek texts, further enriching mathematical knowledge. Their work in algorithms, a term derived from the name of al-Khwarizmi, laid the foundation for modern computer science and computational methods. Islamic mathematicians like Omar Khayyam and Al-Karaji made groundbreaking contributions to number theory, geometry, and computational techniques, influencing both the Islamic world and later European mathematics.
