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

Hourya Sinaceur qui nous a généreusement transmis son article sur l'infini mathématique paru dans le "Dictionnaire de Philosophie et d'Histoire des Sciences" et qui nous a accordé l'autorisation de le publier sur notre site. Infini mathématique La préhistoire Linfini offre peu de prise à l'expérience immédiate. Des myriades de brins d'herbe dans un pré, c'est un nombre très grand, mais pas infini. On trouverait une image plus suggestive dans les figures en abyme ou deux miroirs face à face. Mais même dans ces cas on poursuit en imagination un processus dont on ne perçoit effectivement que les premières étapes. L'infini cependant est présent dès qu'il y a mathématique. Les Grecs déjà l'avaient rencontré. Par exemple, Zénon dElée (V e siècle avant J. C) avec ses paradoxes sur la divisibilité à linfini dun segment de droite, les Pythagoriciens (VI e siècle avant J.

http://homepages.compuserve.de/thweidenfeller/mathematiker/Jabir_ibn_Aflah.htm

Extractions: Died: about 1160 Jabir ibn Aflah is often known by the Latinised form of his name, namely Geber. Although not he was not in the first rank of Arabic mathematicians, he is important in the development of mathematics since his works were translated into Latin, and so became available to European mathematicians, whereas the work of some of the top rank Arabic mathematicians such as Abu'l-Wafa were not translated into Latin. Very little information is available regarding Jabir ibn Aflah's life. That he came from Seville is known from two sources. Firstly he is described as "al-Ishbili" in manuscripts containing his treatises; this means "from Seville". The other source gives us not only the information that he came from Seville, but also a good estimate for the period in which he lived. The information comes from Maimonides. Moses Maimonides, whose Arabic name was Abu 'Imran Musa ibn Maymun ibn 'Ubayd Allah, was a Jewish philosopher, jurist, and physician who was born in Córdoba in 1135. Among many important works he wrote The Guide of the Perplexed in Arabic in which he writes of:- ... ibn Aflah of Seville, whose son I have met ...

Extractions: AT THE PEDDIE SCHOOL Medieval Islamic Astronomy The Spanish Connection An overview Introduction My initial search for information regarding the topic of "Medieval Islamic Astronomy," was almost entirely fruitless. Every single text I looked into referred to a "general lack of innovation and intellectual discourse" during the medieval period. Historian after historian described this time as unscientific and unenlightened; an epoch best forgotten by any self-respecting scholar. They went on to discuss the contrast between the medieval period and the golden ages of Rome and Greece as one would discuss the difference between a fallow field and a field at harvest. The apparent intellectual gap that these texts addressed extinguished any hope I had of finding information on my topic. However, even after this initial disappointment, one question remained: I knew that the Islamic world, especially in Spain, was flourishing during this era. How, then, is this gap possible? Did Islam contribute nothing to the course of scientific learning? Upon Further Inspection. . .

Extractions: Mr Frew has correctly referred to the group known as the Sabi'ah (Sabaeans) whose exact identity or qualification remains wide open to scholarship. The Qur'an lists them among those who were religiously acceptable in the eyes of God: Jews, Christians, Sabaeans, and of course Muslims. Th. Ibn Qurrah, it is reported by Ibn an-Nadim, claimed that he and his community were Sabaeans, and were thus exempt from being considered enemies of Islam, coming under the same protection ( dhimmah ) that is accorded to Christian and Jewish subjects. What exactly was the religion of the town and its people remains open to question.

Extractions: 935 B.C. At the age of twenty-seven, Ibrahim ibn Sinan, was the only known mathematician in the year 935 BC. He was born in the city of Baghdad in 908 BC, where he also died at the age of thirty-eight. Ibrahim ibn Sinans interests were in geometry, especially tangents to circles, astronomy, and mathematical philosophy. He also wrote several books on geometry, including On Drawing the Three Conic Sections , which explains the constructions of the ellipse, hyperbola, and parabola. By studying the geometry of the shadows of the sun, Sinan tried to describe what he thought was the motion of the sun. The most famous work of Ibrahim ibn Sinan was the quadrature of the parabola. From this problem, Sinan developed a method of integration that was more general than the previously defined technique by Archimedes. His book, On the Measurement of the Parabola , introduces a theorem that states that the area of a segment of a parabola is four-thirds times the area of the triangle inscribed in that parabola. Ibrahim ibn Sinan translated many Greek mathematical and philosophical works. Because of his work in mathematical philosophy, he has been labeled the "foremost Arab mathematician to treat mathematical philosophy." Author References:

Extractions: The presentation given today by Dr. Barsky generated an overall theme that the works of the mathematicians of Islam during the period of (965-1039) seemed to show traces of calculus, despite the fact that calculus came about later in time. In this lecture, the topics consisted of al-Khwarizmi (750-850), Thabit ibn Qurra (830-890), Abu-Sahl al-Kuhi (early 900s), ibn al-Haytham (965-1039), Mohammed's Flight from Mecca (622), the Battle of Tours (732), the period of Caliphates, the Fall of Baghdad to Seljuk Turks (1055), the beginning of the first Crusade (1096), the arrival of the Mongols under Ghengis Khan (early 1200s), al-Khwarizmi's truncated pyramid problem, Mishnat ha-Middot, and ibn al-Haytham's volume of a paraboloid calculations. We did not have a mathematician of the day, instead we talked about our papers that will be due October 8. We then covered more of the history of Islamic mathematics. We focused on al-Khwarizmi (750-850), Thabit ibn Qurra (830-890), Abu-Sahl al-Kuhi (early 900s), and ibn al-Haytham (965-1039). We concentrated on problems from al-Khwarizmi and ibn al-Haytham, which mainly dealt with finding volumes. I really enjoyed the lecture about the volume of a parabola from ibn al-Haytham. I have previously seen the symbol for (the sum of), but I usually stopped at that point because I did not understand, or I felt like it was too complicated. I understand the logic behind finding the circumscribed volume, and inscribed volume of the parabola. I can see that the difference between the two is the volume of the bottom disk of the circumscribed volume. I see that the (sum symbol) is included in equations that are interested in finding the sum of the differences between two estimates which will give you the solution to a problem. I also see that as you take the sum of the differences you are reaching the limit which is related to the volume of the parabola.

Extractions: Teorema de Pitágoras E n un triángulo rectángulo, la suma de los cuadrados de los catetos (b y c) es igual al cuadrado de la hipotenusa (a): a =b +c Los números a b y c que verifican esta relación se llaman ternas pitagóricas o números pitagóricos en alusión al estudio que de ellos hicieron Pitágoras y sus discípulos. Los antecedentes históricos de este teorema se remontan a las civilizaciones babilónica y egipcia en el segundo milenio a.J.C. El papiro Rhind y el de Moscú confirman la existencia de tablas de número pitagóricos en esa época. Tras las inundaciones del Nilo, los agrimensores egipcios construían triángulos rectángulos de catetos 3 y 4 y de hipotenusa 5, mediante una cuerda de 12 nudos para parcelar el terreno. Euclides demuestra el Teorema de Pitágoras en la proposición 47 del Libro I de los Elementos En los triángulos rectángulos el cuadrado sobre el ángulo opuesto al ángulo recto es equivalente a los cuadrados sobre los lados que forman el ángulo recto En la proposición 48 demuestra que si el cuadrado construido sobre uno de los lados de un triángulo es equivalente a los cuadrados, juntos, de los otros dos lados, el ángulo formado por esos dos lados es recto, es decir, el recíproco de la Proposición 47.
