Islamic mathematics

Islamic mathematics refers to the significant developments in mathematics that occurred during the Islamic Golden Age (8th to 14th centuries). Scholars in the Islamic world, such as Al-Khwarizmi and Omar Khayyam, built upon earlier Greek and Indian knowledge, introducing concepts like algebra, advances in trigonometry, and the numeral system we use today (including the concept of zero). They made contributions to practical mathematics, which aided trade and astronomy. Their work laid the foundations for later developments in Europe, making Islamic mathematics a crucial link in the history of mathematics.
