Abstract

Thanks to research on primary sources in the last few decades, we know that some of the most fundamental concepts of modern math and science are a legacy of the medieval Islamic Civilization. These contributions, however, are generally not known and not taught in schools due to an inaccurate narrative of history of science that has been in circulation for a long time. There is a great need to disseminate the accurate information to the general public.
