Islamic Golden Age

The Islamic Golden Age refers to a period from the 8th to the 14th centuries, marked by significant advancements in science, medicine, mathematics, philosophy, and culture within the Islamic world. During this era, scholars in the Middle East, North Africa, and Spain built upon Greek and Roman knowledge, making groundbreaking discoveries and translations. Innovations included developments in algebra, astronomy, and medicine, which laid the groundwork for modern science. This flourishing of intellectual pursuits was supported by a rich cultural exchange and the patronage of caliphs and cities like Baghdad, Córdoba, and Cairo, making it a pivotal time in world history.
