There were three brothers Jafar Muhammad ibn Musa ibn Shakir Ahmad ibn Musa ibn Shakir and al-Hasan ibn Musa ibn Shakir . They are almost indistinguishable but we do know that although they often worked together, they did have their own areas of expertise. The three links above give details specific to each of the brothers but most of the information about them is on this page. Jafar Muhammad worked mainly on geometry and astronomy while Ahmad worked mainly on mechanics and al-Hasan worked mainly on geometry. It is quite impossible to write separate biographies of the three brother, who are usually known as the Banu Musa, and we shall not attempt to do so. The Banu Musa brothers were among the first group of mathematicians to begin to carry forward the mathematical developments begun by the ancient Greeks. It is therefore worth looking at the background to how Arabic mathematics came to fill this role. Harun al-Rashid became the fifth Caliph of the Abbasid dynasty on 14 September 786, not long after Musa ibn Shakir, the father of the Banu Musa brothers, was born. Harun ruled from his court in the capital city of Baghdad over the Islam empire which stretched from the Mediterranean to India. He brought culture to his court and tried to establish the intellectual disciplines which at that time were not flourishing in the Arabic world. An example of this change is seen in the life of Musa ibn Shakir, the father of the Banu Musa brothers, who was a robber in his youth but turned to science, becoming highly proficient in astronomy. It was during al-Rashid's reign that the first Arabic translation of

    Abu Ja'far Muhammad ibn Musa Al-Khwarizmi
    Born: about 780 in Baghdad (now in Iraq)
    Died: about 850
    We know few details of Abu Ja'far Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi 's life. One unfortunate effect of this lack of knowledge seems to be the temptation to make guesses based on very little evidence. In [1] Toomer suggests that the name al-Khwarizmi may indicate that he came from Khwarizm south of the Aral Sea in central Asia. He then writes:- But the historian al-Tabari gives him the additional epithet "al-Qutrubbulli", indicating that he came from Qutrubbull, a district between the Tigris and Euphrates not far from Baghdad, so perhaps his ancestors, rather than he himself, came from Khwarizm ... Another epithet given to him by al-Tabari, "al-Majusi", would seem to indicate that he was an adherent of the old Zoroastrian religion. ... the pious preface to al-Khwarizmi's "Algebra" shows that he was an orthodox Muslim, so Al-Tabari's epithet could mean no more than that his forebears, and perhaps he in his youth, had been Zoroastrians. However, Rashed [7], put a rather different interpretation on the same words by Al-Tabari:-

    The House of Wisdom
    The House of Wisdom in Bagdad functioned as the center of study and research in the Islamic world of the ninth century. Among its most prominent scholars were al-Khwarizmi and the Banu Musa, or Sons of Moses. The sons of a robber-turned-astrologer, these three brothers, Muhammad, Ahmad, and al-Hasan, showed a gift for learning at an early age. When their father died, the Caliph al-Mamun enrolled them in the House of Wisdom. There they excelled in the study of mathematics, astronomy and mechanics, leading research in those areas along with al-Khwarizmi. They organized and directed the work of translators of ancient Greek scientific texts. Their Book on the Measurement of Plane and Spherical Figures , which demonstrated the Greek methods for determining area and volume, became well-known in the Arab world and in Europe in the Middle Ages.

    Water fountains combine fluid handling, motion control, and human imagination to let a precious resource reveal its whimsical side.
    By Said Shakerin
    W ater is one of the most precious natural materials. It is essential for sustaining life and for the operation and maintenance of industrial plants. Besides its life-supporting and other essential applications, water has been combined with hydraulic systems for aesthetics, amusement, and relaxation since ancient times. Probably everyone has seen captivating water fountains in public buildings, amusement parks, or private houses. The purpose of a fountain can be to beautify the environment, to provide evaporative cooling, to create a special effect, to mask traffic noise, or to serve as an aid to relaxation. History records that the rulers of ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia incorporated fountains in their palaces for decorative and evaporative cooling purposes. In the classical Greek and Roman cultures, highly developed fountains served as utilitarian and decorative objects. A surge of interest in sculptural fountains began during the Renaissance. Today, elaborate sculptural fountains can be seen throughout Europe, as in the Trevi fountain in Italy. The gardens of the Alhambra, the monumental complex built by the Moors in Granada, contain outstanding examples of the tradition of fountain design in Islamic civilization.

    Baghdad, Iraq, 1224
    By Saadia Iqbal
    A city that would be little recognized today, Baghdad was a celebrated metropolis of glamour and learning in 800 A.D. Sadly, Baghdad has long since lost that status. Numerous wars and invasions, both ancient and contemporary, have contributed to the city's decline.
    Medieval Baghdad provided some of the setting for the stories from Alf Lalah wa Laylah The Thousand and One Nights, also known as Arabian Nights) . The city's opulent palaces and rich bazaars were one of the backdrops for Scheherazade, Aladdin, and Ali Baba's adventures, and the disguised caliph who appeared from time to time was none other than Harun al-Rashid, the fifth ruler of the Abbasid caliphate. He often roamed the streets of Baghdad dressed as a commoner, in order to learn more about his people and help them.
    The Abbasid Caliphate
    The caliphate descended from al-Abbas, an important figure in early Islam, and the uncle of the Prophet Muhammad, who founded the religion. Al-Mansur, the second caliph of the Abbasids, established Baghdad in 762
