Arab Science refers to the contributions made by scholars in the Arab world during the Islamic Golden Age, roughly from the 8th to the 14th centuries. This period saw significant advancements in various fields, including mathematics, astronomy, medicine, and chemistry. Notable figures such as Al-Khwarizmi, who is often called the father of algebra, and Ibn al-Haytham, known for his work in optics, played crucial roles in shaping scientific thought. The translation movement during this era was vital, as many ancient Greek and Roman texts were translated into Arabic. This preserved and expanded upon classical knowledge, leading to innovations like algebra and trigonometry. The work of Arab scientists laid the groundwork for the European Renaissance and continues to influence modern science today.
