Contribution of Muslim Scientists in Maths - 1

These perfect teachings intrudes fascination in the souls of Muslims and they started work in the fields of Mathematics , physics , medicine and other sciences

In the absence of Science and technology periods, Muslims start to access the medical profession and it's genesis with towering passion from the early years of AD & BC. It's not so surprising that religion Islam is so desirous to mankind in studying and exploring the universe , it's subjects to become more intense trustees. As mentioned in the holly book ,

""We (Allah) will show you (mankind) our signs/patterns in the horizons/universe and in yourselves until you are convinced that the revelation is the truth.” [The Qur'an, 14:53]
These perfect teachings intrudes fascination in the souls of Muslims and they started work in the fields of Mathematics , physics , medicine and other sciences. However our religious is enlightening Muslims in every field of life with huge contribution and passion so it emphasizes in the fields of science , Maths etc . In the post ADs , BCs ; these assertions inspire more in the minds of Muslims and in the Maths Fields , they have devised and developed symbols of zero , systematized the decimal system and had devised the symbols of variables 'x' and much more wonderful contributions in the field of mathematics.
The name who is known as the forefather of many concepts is named as Mohammad Bin Musa al Khwaraizmi . This famous Muslim scholar contributed Maths with the foundation of Algebra , and was advanced by others especially Umar Khayyam . His work carried the Arabic numerals along with Europe. As the concept "Algorithm" is devised on his name , born in 730 CE and is famous as the forefather of modern algebra. He also designed sin , cosine and trigonometric functions , which was later translated into other languages as well . Apart from this , he has compiled many books among the famous ones , he has compiled book on algebra “Hisab al-
Jabr waal-Muqabalah” (The Calculation of Integration and Equation) was used until the 16th century as the principal textbook of European universities. In it he composes that given an equation, collecting the unknowns into one side of the equation is called al-Jabr and collecting the known on the other side of the equation is called al- Mukabalah. He also described six basic types of equations: He also explained the numerals from Arabic language , which are at decimal position system and the concept of the zero . Interestingly his book on algebra contains many such examples of Islamic inheritance and is said how could be they solved or answered under such laws.
Contribution of Al- Khwairizmi is very fascinating and powerful in terms of knowledge and in the absence of technologies , this is how our religion guides so early and deeply.
After then one more famous scientist came with the named of Giyath Al Din Al Khasiyani in the late fourteenth century. He was well trained and devised the theory of numbers and techniques of computations. In the year 1424 , he calculated the value of 2pi to 16 decimal digit accurately by approximation circle of polygon. One of his most important works was “Miftah-ul-Hissab” or “The Calculators’ Key”; in it he defined an algorithm for finding the fifth root of any number. The book was taught in Persian schools until the seventeenth century. Later in his life he relocated to Samarkand on the invitation of the ruler to support directly a new scientific school and observatory and conduct research with other scholars of the time. Kashani also wrote on how to approximate sine by solving a cubic equation accurately.
After then one of the great and famous scientist namely Abu Wafa Mohammed Al Buzainji was born in Baghdad in 940 CE and was famous in the fields of mathematics and as astronomer. In the Field of geometry and trigonometry , He was popular and very much appreciated by his contribution and explanations of accuracy. In geometry he added to a solution of geometrical problems with opening of the compass, construction of
a square equivalent to other squares, regular polyhedral, construction of regular hexagon taking for its side of the equilateral triangle inscribed in the same circle, constructions of parabola by points and geometrical solution of the equations x4 = a and x4 ax3 = b. Al-Buzanji’s involvement in the progress of trigonometry was also widespread. He was the first person to show the generality of the sine theorem relative to spherical triangles. He established a new scheme of assembling sine tables, the value of sin 30 being correct to the eight decimal place. In addition, he deliberated tangent and planned tables for them. He announced the secant and cosecant for the first time. He composed a large number of books on mathematics and other subjects, most of which have been lost or exist in modified forms. He also penned rich commentaries on Euclid and al-Khwarizmi. A substantial part of today’s trigonometry can be traced back to him.
Muslims have done uncountable contribution in every field and there contributions are remarkable. There are Many other names , will discuss in the 2nd part. ( To Be Continued)
