Extractions: Arab Contributions Within a century of Muhammad's conquest of Mecca, Islamic armies conquered lands from northern Africa, southern Europe, through the Middle East and east up to India. Within a century of that the Caliphate split up into several parts. The eastern segment, under the Abbasid caliphs, became a center of growth, of luxury, and of peace. In 766 the caliph al-Mansur founded his capitol in Baghdad and the caliph Harun al-Rashid, established a library. The stage was set for his successor, Al-Ma'mum. In the 9 century Al-Ma'mum established Baghdad as the new center of wisdom and learning. He establihed a research institute, the Bayt al-Hikma (House of Wisdom), which would last more than 200 years. Al-Ma'mum was responsible for a large scale translation project of as many ancient works as could be found. Greek manuscripts were obtained through treaties. By the end of the century, the major works of the Greeks had been translated. In addition, they learned the mathematics of the Babylonnians and the Hindus. What follows is a brief introduction to a few of the more prominent Arab mathematicians, and a sample of their work

In either case, you must discuss with me the mathematician you have chosen prior to starting your report. No two students may write a report on the same mathematician. I would advise you to go to the library before choosing your topic as there might not be much information on the mathematician you have chosen. Also, you should determine the topic early in the term so that you can "lock-in" your report topic!! The report must include: 1. The name of the mathematician. 2. The years the mathematician was alive. 3. A biography. 4. The mathematician's major contribution(s) to mathematics and an explanation of the importance. 5. A historical perspective during the time the mathematician was alive.

http://www.stormloader.com/ajy/amicable.html

Extractions: Amicable pairs of numbers have the property that each of the two numbers is the sum of the proper divisors of the other. 220 and 284 form the smallest amicable pair. The proper divisors of 220 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 11, 20, 22, 44, 55, and 110, which sum to 284. The proper divisors of 284 are 1, 2, 4, 71, and 142, which total 220. This pair has been known to be amicable at least since the time of Pythagoras . The second smallest pair, 1184 and 1210, was discovered as recently as 1866 by Nicolo Paganini when he was a 16-year-old schoolboy (although this pair might have been known to the Arabs). Thabit ibn Qurra , a brilliant Arab mathematician, astronomer and physician, described in his Book on the Determination of Amicable Numbers Euclid 's rule for perfect numbers , and gave a formula for obtaining amicable pairs. This formula involves finding a number n, greater than 1, that makes these three expressions all prime

http://perso.wanadoo.fr/matt95/infini/INFbases.htm

Extractions: Ce paradoxe, connu sous le nom de paradoxe de la dichotomie, a longtemps perturbé les scientifiques grecs. En effet, ceux-ci, suivant le maître Pythagore (VIè siècle avant JC), pensaient que toute grandeur physique pouvait être représentée par un entier naturel (l'ensemble des naturels étant noté N) ou par un nombre formé par le quotient de deux naturels, ou nombre rationnel (l'ensemble des rationnels étant noté Q). On a déjà un aperçu de la "politique" grecque dans le nom donné aux fractions de naturels : les nombres rationnels, "ceux qui ont une raison". Ce paradoxe déboucha sur une crise profonde au sein des mathématiciens grecs, crise qui freina considérablement le développement des théories de la numération en Grèce. A celà s'ajoute une grande "découverte", faite, on suppose, par un disciple de Pythagore : celui de l'incommensurabilité de la diagonale du carré. Dessinez un carré de côté 1 : celà est aisément faisable, même en utilisant les simples règle non graduée et compas, seuls outils que les Pythagoriciens acceptaient en géométrie. Ensuite, tracez une de ses diagonales : sa longueur est alors égale à la racine carrée de 2.

Extractions: Ivars Peterson's MathLand January 20, 1997 The early history of mathematics is like a jigsaw puzzle missing many of its pieces. Historians and mathematicians have been painstakingly filling in the blanks, gradually constructing a richer, more complete story of how and where mathematical thought originated and spread. One period of considerable interest is that between the decline of Greek mathematics, coinciding with the collapse of the western Roman Empire in the fifth century, and the rise of European mathematics in the fifteenth century. Mathematics professor Morris Kline of New York University's Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences expressed a common view of that period in his 1972 book Mathematical Thought from Ancient to Modern Times . "The Arabs made no significant advance in mathematics," he wrote. "What they did was absorb Greek and Hindu mathematics, preserve it, and ultimately, ... transmit it to Europe." In other words, Islamic scholars did little more than put Greek mathematics into cold storage until Europe was ready to accept it. Historian George G. Joseph challenged that view in his provocative book

Extractions: 830 A.D. There were three prominent mathematicians alive in the year 830 AD. Hunayn ibn Ishaq al'Ibadi, Christian who translated several Greek works into Arabic, was twenty-two years old. Abu'l-Hasan Thabit ibn Qurra, a mathematician from Harran who studied astronomy and worked with the Pythagorean Theorem, was born in 826 AD. The most famous of the three mathematicians was Abu Abd-Allah ibn Musa al'Khwarizmi, who was born in Baghdad in 790 AD and died at the age of fifty. It was in this year that al'Khwarizmi wrote his famous work on algebra, Hisab al-jabr w'al-muqabala. In this work, al'Khwarizmi solves and classifies the solutions of linear and quadratic equations. al'Khwarizmi only deals with positive coefficients in this treatise, and does not use any algebraic symbols. The term algebra comes from the arabic word al-jabr in the title of this treatise. Later, al'Khwarizmi wrote about hindu-arabic numerals, but the original translation has been lost. In the Latin version of this work, the author's name is translated to Algoritmi and it is from this that the word algorithm was derived. Author : Tim Lucas References:
