👉 Syria math, also known as Syriac mathematics, is an ancient mathematical tradition developed by the Syriac-speaking Christian communities, primarily in the Middle East, from the 3rd to the 10th centuries. It is characterized by its unique script and notation, which differ from Arabic numerals, and it often employs a base-60 (sexagesimal) system, similar to Babylonian mathematics. Syriac mathematicians made significant contributions to algebra, including the solution of linear and quadratic equations, and they were among the first to introduce Arabic numerals to the Islamic world, which later spread to Europe. Their works on geometry and trigonometry were influential in both Islamic and European mathematical traditions, bridging ancient knowledge with later developments.
