Persian Mathematics
Persian Mathematics refers to the mathematical developments that occurred in Persia (modern-day Iran) during the Islamic Golden Age, particularly from the 9th to the 15th centuries. Scholars like Omar Khayyam and Al-Khwarizmi made significant contributions, especially in algebra, geometry, and number theory. Their work laid the foundation for many mathematical concepts used today.
The Persian mathematicians were instrumental in translating and preserving ancient Greek and Indian texts, which helped to advance mathematical knowledge. They introduced the decimal positional number system and made advancements in solving polynomial equations, influencing both the Islamic world and later European mathematics.
