Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi was a 9th-century Muslim mathematician and astronomer. He is known as the "father of algebra", a word derived from the title of his book, Kitab al-Jabr.

Algebra (from Arabic "al-jabr", literally meaning "reunion of broken parts"[1]) is one of the broad parts of mathematics, together with number theory, geometry and analysis. In its most general form, algebra is the study of mathematical symbols and the rules for manipulating these symbols;[2] it is a unifying thread of almost all of mathematics.[3

Islamic scientists preserved Greek ideas and expanded on them during the Middle Ages.[4] By the early 17th century, geometry had been put on a solid analytic footing by mathematicians such as René Descartes and Pierre de Fermat. Since then, and into modern times, geometry has expanded into non-Euclidean geometry and manifolds, describing spaces that lie beyond the normal range of human experience.[5]

Today, in almost every aspect of our daily lives, we are indebted in many ways to the Arab contributions to the sciences. The vast contributions, scholarly achievements and innovations of the Arab/Muslim era to world civilization encompassed much of the previous knowledge of the ancient civilizations of the Middle East such as Mesopotamia, Syria, the Greeks, and that of India, China and Persia. Arab and Muslim scholars would come to nourish that which existed, comment on it and then add and create fields within science that eventually would be transferred to Europe and to the rest of the world.

It was only in the 19th century that some Western scholars acquired sufficient objectivity to admit openly that much of European learning was based on the knowledge that the Arabs had brought to the still developing continent.
One of the first modern historians to be convinced of the importance and impact of the Arabs and Arabic for the study of world history was George Sarton (1884-1956), a Harvard Orientalist who is considered the father of the history of science. His, An Introduction to the History of Science, was one of the first works to give Arab culture its due in regards to world civilization.

Also, the significant Arab advancements in the fields of agriculture, food, music, architecture, physical sciences, philosophy, technology and other fields of knowledge were passed on to the West.

As Sarton explains: “Investigation, accumulation of positive knowledge, minute methods of science and prolonged observation were alien to Greek temperament. The Arabs introduced these to Europe. European science owes its existence to the Arabs”

The influence of Arab medicine encompassed in the early 13th century, the establishment of one of Europe’s leading medical schools, at Montpellier, in southern France which remained one of Europe’s best for centuries. Established along the lines of Arab medical schools, its curriculum included initially 16 medical books, 13 of which used in teaching were of Arab-Islamic instruction.

The Arabs also brought the art of producing paper from the Chinese to Sicily and Spain, then to Italy and France, causing a great increase in book production, hence, encouraging learning. Paper was a Chinese invention before the birth of Christ, but the Arabs expanded its use and introduced paper making to almost all the known countries of the world at that time. They utilized new materials such as flax, rags and vegetable fibres, and introduced new methods for its manufacture.

In Europe, Toledo became the center of paper manufacturing during the Moorish age and from there, spread to the Christian kingdoms of Spain, then to other European countries. In the same fashion, after being introduced into Sicily, the art of paper manufacturing spread to the all parts of the Italian Peninsula. The introduction of paper into Europe made possible the production of books in large quantities. Before that time, the parchment used in the making of books was so expensive that only cathedrals and monasteries could afford to possess libraries. As a result, knowledge expanded and the base was set for the European Renaissance.
