The Growth of

Islamic in
Mathematics
 OBJECTIVES

1. The growth of Mathematics in Islamic.

2. The great mathematician in Islamic era.
3. The contributions of mathematics in Islamic.
 The growth of Islamic
mathematics refers to the
development and advancements
made in the field of mathematics
01 by scholars during the Islamic
golden age, which spanned
roughly from the 8th to the 14th
century Islamic.
 Islamic mathematics made significant
contributions to various branches of
mathematics, trigonometry, arithmetic, and
calculus.

The most important contributions may be the

invention of algebra,which originated in
Baghdad in the house of wisdom (bayt al-
hikma)
HOUSE OF WISDOM
The house of wisdom was
primarily a library and a
place for translation and
Hahahaha research, scholars would
work here in translating
Greek and Hindu treatises to
Arabic , and also conducted
their own research and
wrote original treatises.
HOUSE OF WISDOM The house of wisdom was
established in the early 9th
Century by Caliph Alrashid.
His son , Caliph al-Ma'mun was
the ruler who made the house of
wisdom so important.
Al-Ma'mun had a dream in which
Aristotle appeared to him, after
this dream , Al-Ma'mun wanted
to translate as many Greek
manuscript as he could! He
commissioned scholars to begin.
 The Great
Mathematician's in
02
Islamic
AI-khwarizmi
-Muhammad ibn Musa AL-
khwarizmi is probably the Most
famous Muslim mathematician.
-He lived about 780-850 CE.
-Ai- Khwarizmi was born in
Qutrubull ,an area near Baghdad
between the Tigris and Euphrates
rivers, but was bought to work at
the House of wisdom by the
Caliph al- Ma'mun .
AI-khwarizmi
He popularized a number of
mathematical concepts, including the
use of Hindu- Arabic numbers and
the number zero, Algebra, and the
use of Geometry to demonstrate and
prove algebraic results. Many of his
work deal with astronomy, but he
also wrote about the Jewish calendar,
Arithmetic, and Algebra.
 Mathematician background, contribution
 Translated earlier mathematical works
 Arithmetic using Hindu-Arabic numerals
 Wrote first algebra text
 Algorithm derives from this name and Algebra is derived
from the tittle of one of his books
 He gives the purpose as establishing a practical means of
solving problems such as Inheritance, partitions , trade and
others.
 Mathematician background, contribution

 Six forms of quadratic used to avoid negative numbers.

 Provide geometry proof's, but techniques were algebraic to
be used without figures.
 Extends laws of arithmetic to polynomials
 Geography extending Ptolemy
 Astronomy , using Indian sources and probably Ptolemy.
Abu ai-Hasan
Abu Ali al-Hasan ibn al-Hasan ibn al-
Haytham, commonly known as
Alhazen, was a renowned Arab
polymath who lived during the 10th
and 11th centuries. He made
significant contributions to various
fields including mathematics, optics,
physics, astronomy, and
engineering.
Abu-AI hasan
Born in Basra, Iraq, Alhazen was
a self-taught scholar who
dedicated most of his life to
observational and experimental
work. He is best known for his
work on optics, which
revolutionized the
understanding of light and
vision during his time.
The contributions of Mathematics in Islamic
One of the first Directors of the House of Wisdom in
Bagdad in the early 9th Century was an outstanding Persian
mathematician called Muhammad Al-Khwarizmi. He
oversaw the translation of the major Greek and Indian
mathematical and astronomy works (including those of
Brahmagupta) into Arabic, and produced original work
which had a lasting influence on the advance of Muslim
and (after his works spread to Europe through Latin
translations in the 12th Century) later European
mathematics
The word “algorithm” is derived from the Latinization
of his name, and the word “algebra” is derived from
the Latinization of “al-jabr“, part of the title of his
most famous book, in which he introduced the
fundamental algebraic methods and techniques for
solving equations
Perhaps his most important contribution to
mathematics was his strong advocacy of the Hindu
numerical system, which Al-Khwarizmi recognized as
having the power and efficiency needed to
revolutionize Islamic and Western mathematics.
The Hindu numerals 1 – 9 and 0 – which have
since become known as Hindu-Arabic
numerals – were soon adopted by the entire
Islamic world. Later, with translations of Al-
Khwarizmi’s work into Latin by Adelard of
Bath and others in the 12th Century, and
with the influence of Fibonacci’s “Liber
Abaci” they would be adopted throughout
Europe as well.
