Description

Explore the deep connections between geometry and mathematical philosophy in this specialized academic text. As the fifth volume in the A History of Arabic Sciences and Mathematics series, this book expands on previous studies of infinitesimal geometry, spherical geometry, and mathematical astronomy. It provides a detailed look at the foundational work of Ibn al-Haytham, also known as Alhazen, alongside the contributions of Thabit ibn Qurra and al-Sijzi. This volume is a vital resource for students and researchers interested in the evolution of scientific thought in the Middle East. By examining seven main works, the text covers essential topics such as the properties of the circle, the founding of analytical art through analysis and synthesis, and the development of new mathematical disciplines like the Knowns. It offers a clear window into the historical development of mathematical science and its cultural impact.
