The? Arab and Mathematics

Hello and welcome my dear reader, this article will talk about mathematics in Arab countries, some key points and things to be learned to master this area of ​​knowledge.

The? Arabs, who at that time lived a moment of expansion, not only territorial but intellectual, soon able to decipher more knowledge of the subject. The history of mathematics begins Arab peoples from the eighth century.

The Muslim empire was the first to start this development, trying to translate all Greek texts into Arabic. As many schools believe very important, where books are translated as Brahmagupta, where he explained in detail the Indian numbering system, a system that later became known as "Al-Khowarizmi" which by deformations ended language as "algorithm".

The progress achieved in this time frame the concept of limit, the introduction of rational and irrational numbers, especially the positive real, and the development of trigonometry, where he built highly accurate trigonometric tables.

The next epoch in the history of mathematics is understood at the time of the Renaissance. At this moment in history is when it appears the Near East as a connoisseur of mathematics. Although the history of mathematics in the Near East, is not as old as the Far East, his contribution is of great magnitude, especially with the emergence of a large number of works by the great mathematicians of the time.

Of note is the work of Leonardo de Pissa, entitled Liber Abaci, where he explained in a simple manner using the abacus and the positional number system. Also among other important works, one can mention the practice Geometrie, where geometric problems were solved, especially for calculating areas of polygons.

One of the major contributions of this culture was obtained in the introduction of fractional exponents and the concept of radical numbers, besides established a unique system of algebraic numbers, which was raised equations can be expressed in general form.

After this long evolution, mathematics came in the nineteenth century, where they signed the foundations of modern mathematics.

Progress in solving equations and in what is now known as calculus, made this time of greater wealth for this science.

Among the major developments of this period may be mentioned, solving algebraic equations, radicals, development of the group concept, advances in the fundamentals of non-Euclidean hyperbolic geometry, in addition to that a very deep realization reconstruction on the basis of limits set theory and the theory of real numbers.

Hope this helps, I say goodbye and wish you well.
