Arab science
Arab science refers to the contributions of scholars in the Arab world from the 8th to the 14th centuries, a period often called the Islamic Golden Age. During this time, scientists and thinkers made significant advances in fields such as mathematics, astronomy, medicine, and chemistry. They preserved and translated ancient texts, enriched them with their own discoveries, and developed new concepts, such as algebra and the scientific method. Institutions like libraries and universities flourished, enabling knowledge exchange. Their work laid the groundwork for the Renaissance in Europe and continues to influence modern science and technology.
