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: By M Erhayiem The IBM World Book Encyclopaedia raises the question as how the Arabic Numerals originated (!?) as appeared in an article contributed by Nadine L. Verderber, Ph.D., Prof. of Mathematics, Southern Illinois Univ., Edwardsville. The article states, as such, "Scholars do not know how Arabic numerals originated." "The Hindus developed the zero sometime after A.D. 600." The World Book Multimedia Encyclopaedia has largely ignored the work of the Scientists during the Islamic and the Arabic medieval era. The contributions of the Muslims and Arabs in the field of Mathematics were very significant. The great Harvard historian of science, Professor George Sarton wrote in his monumental Introduction to the History of Science[4]: "From the second half of the 8th to the end of the 11th century, Arabic was the scientific, the progressive language of mankind... When the West was sufficiently mature to feel the need of deeper knowledge, it turned its attention, first of all, not to the Greek sources, but to the Arabic ones." O'Connor and Robertson[2] published various articles about the contribution of those forgotten brilliance. Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khawarizmi Yaqub ibn Ishaq al-Kindi (801-873 A.D.), a Philosopher and Mathematician, who wrote many works on arithmetic, including: the numbers, relative quantities, measuring proportion and time, and numerical procedures. He also wrote on space and time.

Extractions: Sabaeans, or Sabeans Sabaeans of Harran The city of Harran was founded around 2000 BC as a merchant outpost of Ur, situated on the major trade route across northern Mesopotamia . The name comes from the Sumerian and Akkadian "Harran-U", meaning "journey", "caravan", or "crossroad" Figure #8 Harran The theology of the Harranians can be divided into three periods. The first is the Assyrian-Babylonian period from about 2000 BC up to the beginning of the Christian era. During this time Sin was the supreme deity. The second period can be noted as being from the beginning of the Christian era to the Islamic period. During this time the Harranians still clung to their belief in Sin and appear to have expanded into various sects. The third period begins in the 10th century AD. This time period gives us a wealth of information on the Harranians. Not only do the Harranians retain Sin, but also they now claim to have been descended of Abraham and note Adam among their ancestors. The Assyrian Babylonian Period The religion of the ancient Mesopotamian people left its mark on the entire Middle East. The literature, cosmogony and rituals influenced the major religious ideas today of Judeo-Christian-Islamic tradition. Archaeologists are reconstructing the religious world of Mesopotamia through the ancient these ancient temples, ziggurats, and the cuneiform writings of hymns, myths, lamentations, and incantations.

Extractions: Mufti of Egypt 1. Responsibilities vary in importance and gravity according to impacts and results. It is indisputable that the responsibility shouldered by doctors is considered the greatest, because they are the guardians of souls and bodies of people, and because people are cured, God willing, from the most incurable and severest diseases through them. Any error or neglect on their part may lead to delay in recovery, or to ruin and death. 2. The medical profession strikes deep roots along thousands of years, as man, at any time and in any place, seeks to be cured of diseases and may sacrifice all his property in pursuit of recovery. Therefore, health is a matchless blessing whose value is not perfectly known except by those who suffer the agonies of disease. The honourable Hadith says: "There are two blessings which many people lose: (they are) Health and free time for doing good".

Hazrat Omar, the second Caliph of Islam despatched a company of physicians along with the Arab army bound for Persia. The Omayyad Caliphate represents a period of consolidation and proper organisation of Muslim resources. The third Omayyad Caliph, Walid Ibn Abdul Malik, who took much interest in public works, founded an institute for blind and disabled persons. He established the first medical dispensary in Islam in 88 A. H. and staffed it with a number of able physicians and surgeons. Soon afterwards dozens of small dispensaries sprang up all over the vast Omayyad empire.

Extractions: Requirements Lecture and ... Extra Credit Norman A. Stillman, "The Jew in the Medieval Islamic City" Islam is and from its earliest days on the scene of world history has been first and foremost an urban civilization, although as the late Samuel M. Stern has pointed out, "this statement . . . is somewhat devoid of meaning; for all civilizationsor let us be cautious and put it thus most civilizations are urban civilizations." (If Stern was exaggerating a bit here, it was to bring home a valid point.) Be that as it may, the Muslim Arab conquests of the seventh and early eighth centuries were followed almost immediately by a veritable wave of urbanization, the like of which the world west of India had not seen since Greco-Roman times. Western Europe would experience no such burgeoning of cities and towns for another four or five centuries. As a result of the Islamic conquests, the majority of Jews living in the world at that time came under Arab rule. During this period of urbanization, the Jews particularly in their great demographic center of Bavel, which now became Arab Iraq completed the transition that had already begun in talmudic times from an agrarian to a cosmopolitan way of life. Within the cities of the Muslim empire, Jews not only took part in creating the new and vibrant civilization that we call "medieval Islam," but also developed a flourishing Jewish culture along parallel lines. For it was during the Islamic High Middle Ages (ca. 850-1250) that the Babylonian Talmud gradually became the constitutional foundation of Diaspora Judaism, the synagogue service and the prayerbook text took on their familiar form, Jewish theology was systematized, Jewish law codified, and Hebrew language and literature enjoyed their greatest revival prior to their rebirth in modern times.

Extractions: THABIT IBN QURRAH (THEBIT) (836 - 901 C.E.) Thabit ibn Qurrah, known in the West as Thebit , is known for his work on mechanics, astronomy, pure mathematics and geometry. Thabit ibn Qurrah ibn Marwan al-Harrani was born in 836 C.E. at Harran (present Turkey) and died in Baghdad in 901 C.E. He joined the scientific team of the great Muslim mathematician Muhammad Ibn Musa Ibn Shakir at Baghdad, which was established by the Abbasid Caliphs. Thabit was a pioneer in extending the concept of traditional geometry to geometrical algebra and proposed theories that led to the development of non-Euclidean geometry, spherical trigonometry, integral calculus and real numbers. He used arithmetic terminology to study several aspects of conic sections (parabola and ellipse). His algorithm for computing the surface area and volume of solids is in fact what we came to know later as the integral calculus. Thabit's original work on Mechanics and Physics involves examining conditions of equilibrium of bodies, beams and levers. Some historians have recognized him as the Founder of Statics. He was among the early critics of Ptolemaic views on astronomy. He also criticized several theorems of Euclid's elements and proposed important improvements. Thabit added the ninth sphere to Ptolemic astronomy. Some early investigators criticized his work on 'Trepidation of Equinoxes' and several centuries later Tycho Brahe (1546-1601) improved upon his work. Thabit analyzed several problems on the movements of sun and moon and wrote treatises on sundials. Beer and Madler in their famous work Der Mond (1837) mention a surface feature of the moon after Thabit (Thebit). It is a prominent circular plain thirty miles in diameter in Section No. 8. The intrusion of a small circular plain has disfigured its circular wall. A small crater has thrust itself in on the eastern side of this plain.

Extractions: 908 AD Ibrahim ibn Sinan was born in Bagdad (now located in Iraq) in 908 AD. He was the grandson of Thabit ibn Qurra who translated many Greek astronomical and mathematical works into Arabic. Ibrahim ibn Sinan studied geometry including tangents to circles, and the geometry of shadows, and the motion of the Sun. He is considered the first Arab mathematician to think about mathematical philosophy. He constructed an ellipse, parabola and hyperbola in On drawing the three conic sections . Later in the manuscript he proves that the area of a segment of a parabola is four-thirds the area of the inscribed triangle. Another work On the motions of the sun deals with the motion of the solar apogee, and has an analysis of the observations underlying Ptolemy's solar theory. Author: Charles DeBoer References:
