Muslim Scientists Qurra THABIT IBN QURRA (836-901 C.E.) Thabit Ibn Qurra Ibn Marwan al-Sabi al-Harrani was born in the year 836 C.E. at Harran (present Turkey). As the name indicates he was basically a member of the Sabian sect, but the great Muslim mathematician Muhammad Ibn Musa Ibn Shakir, impressed by his knowledge of languages, and realising his potential for a scientific career, selected him to join the scientific group at Baghdad that was being patronised by the Abbasid Caliphs. There, he studied under the famous Banu Musa brothers. It was in this setting that Thabit contributed to several branches of science, notably mathematics, astronomy and mechanics, in addition to translating a large number of works from Greek to Arabic. Later, he was patronised by the Abbasid Caliph al-M'utadid. After a long career of scholarship, Thabit died at Baghdad in 901 C.E. Thabit's major contribution lies in mathematics and astronomy. He was instrumental in extending the concept of traditional geometry to geometrical algebra and proposed several theories that led to the development of non-Euclidean geometry, spherical trigonometry, integral calculus and real numbers. He criticized a number of theorems of Euclid's elements and proposed important improvements. He applied arithmetical terminology to geometrical quantities, and studied several aspects of conic sections, notably those of parabola and ellipse. A number of his computations aimed at determining the surfaces and volumes of different types of bodies and constitute, in fact, the processes of integral calculus, as developed later.

Là, il a étudié sous la direction des frères Musa. Thabit a contribué à plusieurs branches de science, particulièrement les mathématiques, l'astronomie et la mécanique, en plus de la traduction d' un grand nombre de travaux des grecs en arabe.

Il n'y a aucun doute qu'il n'était pas au jeune âge de trente-huit, il devait atteindre un degré gloire pour ses travaux mathématiques selon l'opinion de Sezgin qu'il était: ... un des plus importants mathématiciens dans le monde Islamique médiéval. Peut-être sa mort précoce lui avait volé la chance de faire une contribution plus importante que celle de son célèbre grand-père. Le plus important travail de Ibrahim était sur la quadrature de la parabole où il introduisit une méthode d'intégration plus général que celle faite par Archimède Son grand-père Thabit ibn Qurra avait commencé à examiner l'intégration en une différente façon de celle d' Archimède mais Ibrahim s'était rendu compte que Al-Mahani avait fait des améliorations sur ce que son grand-père avait réalisé. Pour Ibrahim ce ci est inacceptable:

    http://www.pballew.net/arithm13.html
    
    Extractions: Back to Math Words Alphabetical Index Aliquot parts of a number are proper divisors of the number that are smaller than the number. The aliquot parts of six are one, two, and three. The word joins two unlikely partners, the Latin ali for "other" and quot for how many. Together they came to mean a part of something, in this case, a part of the number of which it is a factor. The "other" meaning of ali remains today in words like alius, alibi, and alien. The quot root remains in quotient. Aliquot chains, sometimes called sociable chains , are formed by taking the sum of the aliquot parts and adding them to form a new number, then repeating this process on the next number. For some numbers, the result will bring you directly back to the original number. In that case the two numbers are called amicable numbers . For example, 220 and 284 are amicable numbers. The divisors of 220 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 11, 20, 22, 44, 55, 110 and if you add all these numbers together, you can see they sum to 284. The aliquot parts of 284 are 1, 2, 4, 71, 142 and these sum to 220. The relationship between 220 and 284 was known at least as far back as Pythagorus (500 BC). Sam Kutler has written to tell me that the first use of a term like "friend" for the pair was in a commentary on the work of Nicomachus by Iamblichus, around 300 AD. He also thought the Greek term was

    Both may be based on the work of thabit ibn qurra, or the work of ibn Aflah, Abu lWafa,and thabit ibn qurra may all be based on some still unknown source.  
    http://homepages.compuserve.de/thweidenfeller/mathematiker/Jabir_ibn_Aflah.htm
    
    Extractions: Died: about 1160 Jabir ibn Aflah is often known by the Latinised form of his name, namely Geber. Although not he was not in the first rank of Arabic mathematicians, he is important in the development of mathematics since his works were translated into Latin, and so became available to European mathematicians, whereas the work of some of the top rank Arabic mathematicians such as Abu'l-Wafa were not translated into Latin. Very little information is available regarding Jabir ibn Aflah's life. That he came from Seville is known from two sources. Firstly he is described as "al-Ishbili" in manuscripts containing his treatises; this means "from Seville". The other source gives us not only the information that he came from Seville, but also a good estimate for the period in which he lived. The information comes from Maimonides. Moses Maimonides, whose Arabic name was Abu 'Imran Musa ibn Maymun ibn 'Ubayd Allah, was a Jewish philosopher, jurist, and physician who was born in Córdoba in 1135. Among many important works he wrote The Guide of the Perplexed in Arabic in which he writes of:- ... ibn Aflah of Seville, whose son I have met ...

    http://homepages.compuserve.de/thweidenfeller/mathematiker/Menelaus.htm
    
    Extractions: Died: about 130 Although we know little of Menelaus of Alexandria 's life Ptolemy records astronomical observations made by Menelaus in Rome on the 14th January in the year 98. These observation included that of the occultation of the star Beta Scorpii by the moon. He also makes an appearance in a work by Plutarch who describes a conversation between Menelaus and Lucius in which Lucius apologises to Menelaus for doubting the fact that light, when reflected, obeys the law that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. Lucius says (see for example [1]):- In your presence, my dear Menelaus, I am ashamed to confute a mathematical proposition, the foundation, as it were, on which rests the subject of catoptrics . Yet it must be said that the proposition, "All reflection occurs at equal angles" is neither self evident nor an admitted fact. This conversation is supposed to have taken place in Rome probably quite a long time after 75 AD, and indeed if our guess that Menelaus was born in 70 AD is close to being correct then it must have been many years after 75 AD. Very little else is known of Menelaus's life, except that he is called Menelaus of Alexandria by both Pappus

    Extractions: Consulting Translators Contact Us Abu Zayd Hunayn ibn Ishaq al-Ibadi (808 - 873) Hunayn ibn Ishaq is most famous as a translator. He was not a mathematician but trained in medicine and made his original contributions to the subject. However, as the leading translator in the House of Wisdom at one of the most remarkable periods of mathematical revival, his influence on the mathematicians of the time is of sufficient importance to merit his inclusion in this archive. His son Ishaq ibn Hunayn, strongly influenced by his father, is famed for his Arabic translation of Euclid's Elements. Hunayn's father was Ishaq, a pharmacist from Hira. The family were from a group who had belonged to the Syrian Nestorian Christian Church before the rise of Islam, and Hunayn was brought up as a Christian. Hunayn became skilled in languages as a young man, in particular learning Arabic at Basra and also learning Syriac. To continue his education Hunayn went to Baghdad to study medicine under the leading teacher of the time. However, after falling out with this teacher, Hunayn left Baghdad and, probably during a period in Alexandria, became an expert in the Greek language. Hunayn returned to Baghdad and established contact with the teacher with whom he had fallen out. The two became firm friends and were close collaborators on medical topics for many years.
