Now these are 2 nonsensical statements that is going to be heavily contested.[:::~Spartacus~:::];3681648 said:or you can go as far as babylonians
the muslims found and made use of it, and developed it, algebra is one of the basic forms of mathematics, it is also applied in calculus
muslims also worked on many things which you arnt even aware of, europeans used their knowledge and developed their own knowledge based on muslims, ibn e sina was called avesina, gabin ibn hyan was called gaber etc
all the work muslim put was transfered to europe after islamic and european contact and hence industrial revolution, if there were no muslims, the europe would have remained in the dark ages
1. Algebra - applied in Calculus ? If so how, solving simultaneous equations and/or quadratic equations is still Algebra. If you had taken high school math, calculus begins with where algebra ends at - summations and trigonometry. And these were invented far before any Theocratic Golden Age came into play, when humans were still pagans in the form of greeks. In that sense, the Islamic Golden age could see the horizon because it was sitting on the shoulders of the Greek giants.
2. Never assume that IF the Islamic Golden age did not come through, then human rationale and his tendency to explore would have stopped. Knowledge propagates through Man's eternal quest to seek answers. If not for Islam, then someone else would have come.
The pie of the Islamic Golden Age in the modern context has lost its relevance, to being considerably irrelevant. Alkali and Alchemy do not drive a major major part of the modern world any more, Neutrons, Protons-Electrons, Photons, Bosons and Quarks do. So unless people come out of this belief system, the Islamic World will remain largely irrelevant in the world of Science.
