Description

Discover the groundbreaking mathematical and scientific contributions of Ibn al-Haytham (Alhazen), one of the most influential scholars of the medieval Arab world. This fourth volume in the History of Arabic Sciences and Mathematics series presents five major primary source works covering astronomy, spherical geometry, trigonometry, and astronomical instruments. Building on three preceding volumes that explored infinitesimal determinations and classical mathematics, this collection reveals how Ibn al-Haytham advanced fields including plane trigonometry, hour lines, horizontal sundials, and compasses for great circles. Essential reading for anyone studying the history of medieval science, Islamic mathematics, or the intellectual heritage of the Arab world, this Routledge publication connects classical mathematical tradition to innovations that shaped European scientific thought.
