OMG...OMG...You managed to mention 3 people form thousands.scroll99 said:
The 3 from peace dont count IMO cause they were issued out of politics.
The other 3 for literature, physics and medicine are legit, but Scroll that only leaves you 3 Nobels out of hundreds!!
Thats pathetic IMO.
I knew from the very begining you will end up the discussions right here , this is really funny you missed all the points in the discussions , I told you in the begining no matter what you do you will remain close minded .Esco! said:
The Maths and Aljebra that you use today and without it you would be living in the dark ages and todays many inventions would not even be possible without it , is much contributed by Arabs.
Al-Khowarizmi (äl-khōwärēz'mē) , fl. 820, Arab mathematician of the court of Mamun in Baghdad. His treatises on Hindu arithmetic and on algebra made him famous. He is said to have given algebra its name, and the word algorithm is said to have been derived from his name. Much of the mathematical knowledge of medieval Europe was derived from Latin translations of his works.
al-Khwarizmi
Abū ‘Abd Allāh Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī1 (Arabic: أبو عبد الله محمد بن موسى الخوارزمي) was a Muslim mathematician, astronomer, astrologer, geographer and author. Few details are known about his life but he was born in Persia around 780, and died around 850.
Because of his book on the systematic solution of linear and quadratic equations, al-Kitāb al-mukhtaṣar fī hīsāb al-ğabr wa’l-muqābala,3 al-Khwarizmi is, together with Diophantus, considered to be the father of algebra.4 The word algebra is derived from al-ğabr,2 one of the two operations used to solve quadratic equations, as described in his book. Algoritmi de numero Indorum, the Latin translation of his other major work, on the Indian numerals, introduced the positional number system and the number zero to the Western world in the 12th century. The words algorism and algorithm stem from Algoritmi, the Latinization of his name.5

He also recognized that quadratic equations have two roots. His method was continued by Thabet Bin Qura, the translator of Ptolemy's works who developed Algebra and first realized application in geometry. By the 11th century the Arabs had founded, developed and perfected geometrical algebra and could solve equations of the third and fourth degree
Abul Wáfa
Abul Wafa Muhammad Ibn Muhammad Ibn Yahya Ibn Ismail Buzjani (940 – 997 or 998) was a Persian mathematician and astronomer. He was born in Buzhgan, Nishapur in Iran.
He devised a wall quadrant for the accurate astronomy measurement of the declination of stars. He also introduced the tangent function and improved methods of calculating trigonometry tables and developed novel ways of solving some problems of spherical triangles.
He established the trigonometric identities:
sin(a + b) = sin(a)cos(b) + cos(a)sin(b)
cos(2a) = 1 − 2sin2(a)
sin(2a) = 2sin(a)cos(a)
and discovered the sine formula for spherical geometry (which looks similar to the law of sines):
\frac{\sin(A)}{\sin(a)} = \frac{\sin(B)}{\sin(b)} = \frac{\sin(C)}{\sin(c)}

Al-Karaji
Abu Bakr ibn Muhammad ibn al-Husayn Al-Karaji (953 - 1029), also known as Al-karkhi was a Persian mathematician and engineer.
He wrote the Al-Fakhri and dedicated it to the ruler of Baghdad.
Mathematics historian F Woepcke in Extrait du Fakhri, traité d'Algèbre par Abou Bekr Mohammed Ben Alhacan Alkarkhi (Paris, 1853), describes Karaji's work as the first appearance of "the theory of algebraic calculus".
Historian R Rashed in The development of Arabic mathematics : between arithmetic and algebra (London, 1994) writes:
"the more-or-less explicit aim of al-Karaji's exposition was to find the means of realising the autonomy and specificity of algebra, so as to be in a position to reject, in particular, the geometric representation of algebraic operations".
"Al-Karaji's work holds an especially important place in the history of mathematics. ... the discovery and reading of the arithmetical work of Diophantus, in the light of the algebraic conceptions and methods of al-Khwarizmi and other Arab algebraists, made possible a new departure in algebra by Al-Karaji ..."

You know what the links I am providing to you are the one from one of the most westernized web sites since I knew you will be shocked but its not your fault It's the lack of knowledge and bias which keeps these historical facts away from the average person , the facts which are easily available in the Western books and libraries to be only found by the curious ... so now is the chance for you to learnEsco! said:Scroll, are you serious?????
This is beginning to become humorous, to say the least
But seriously though!!
Ha ha ha ha
I cant stop laughing..........LOL
The facts above are a bit of twisted against Arabs since its from your own websites , if I started providing links from their own websites I am sure you will start to hide and run away
Alhazen
Alhazen
Alhazen is considered the most important of the Arab physicists and therefore the chief physicist of the early Middle Ages. His main concern was the behavior of light, which he explained better than anyone before the 17th century. When he found himself in trouble with his Egyptian ruler, he pretended to have gone mad and only gave up the pretense after the ruler had died.
Ibn al-Haytham (ĭb'ən äl-hīth-äm') or Alhazen (ălhəzĕn') , 965–c.1040, Arab mathematician. Ibn al-Haytham was born in Basra, Persia, but made his career in Cairo, where he supported himself copying scientific manuscripts. Among his original works, only those on optics, astronomy, and mathematics survive.
His Optics, which relied on experiment rather than on past authority, introduced the idea that light rays emanate in straight lines in all directions from every point on a luminous surface. Latin editions of the Optics, available from the 13th cent. on, influenced Kepler and Descartes. As a cosmologist, al-Haytham tried to find mechanisms by which the heavenly bodies might be shown to follow the paths determined by Ptolemaic mathematics. In mathematics, al-Haytham elucidated and extended Euclid's Elements and suggested a proof of the parallel postulate.

These kind of people are their in every Religion .Esco! said:Trust me I'm not that kind, now try to explain the Arab woman's words on Al-Jazeera will you!!
And post it on this website.
Cheers.....buddy!!
I am on this board not to offence but to defend , if thats was not the case I would have provided dozens of links refering to these kind of people from whatever religion you choose bashing their own religions but then ignorant people would have been left wondering .... and I do want to keep a distant from these very few types of people
I swear after reading the transcript 'SPARTY' copied , I was left with few minutes laugh. It seems I was reading the biggest joke by any standard or by any real facts....
And by asking me to post the link I think you are not all sincere with anyone including with yourself ,, sorry buddy...
Cheers ....
