Arabic Numerals Ibrahim ibn sinan ibn thabit ibn Qurra ( 908946) who introduced a method of integration in studying the work was a continuation of his grandfather's (Thabit ibn Qurra) research work http://www.arabicnumerals.cwc.net/
Extractions: By M Erhayiem The IBM World Book Encyclopaedia raises the question as how the Arabic Numerals originated (!?) as appeared in an article contributed by Nadine L. Verderber, Ph.D., Prof. of Mathematics, Southern Illinois Univ., Edwardsville. The article states, as such, "Scholars do not know how Arabic numerals originated." "The Hindus developed the zero sometime after A.D. 600." The World Book Multimedia Encyclopaedia has largely ignored the work of the Scientists during the Islamic and the Arabic medieval era. The contributions of the Muslims and Arabs in the field of Mathematics were very significant. The great Harvard historian of science, Professor George Sarton wrote in his monumental Introduction to the History of Science[4]: "From the second half of the 8th to the end of the 11th century, Arabic was the scientific, the progressive language of mankind... When the West was sufficiently mature to feel the need of deeper knowledge, it turned its attention, first of all, not to the Greek sources, but to the Arabic ones." O'Connor and Robertson[2] published various articles about the contribution of those forgotten brilliance. Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khawarizmi Yaqub ibn Ishaq al-Kindi (801-873 A.D.), a Philosopher and Mathematician, who wrote many works on arithmetic, including: the numbers, relative quantities, measuring proportion and time, and numerical procedures. He also wrote on space and time.
Sinan Abu Said sinan ibn thabit ibn Qurra. sinan ibn thabit ibn Qurra wasthe son of Thabit ibn Qurra and the father of Ibrahim ibn Sinan. http://www-gap.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Sinan.html
Extractions: Sinan ibn Thabit ibn Qurra was the son of Thabit ibn Qurra and the father of Ibrahim ibn Sinan . Although Sinan was extremely eminent in medicine his contributions to mathematics were somewhat less major but he still deserves a place in this archive as a contributor to mathematics in this remarkable family of scholars. Thabit ibn Qurra , Sinan's father, was a member of the Sabian sect. The Sabian religious sect were star worshippers from Harran. Of course being worshipers of the stars meant that there was strong motivation for the study of astronomy and the sect produced many quality astronomers and mathematicians such as Thabit himself. Sinan was trained in medicine, a topic which his father had studied in Baghdad. His father's patron was the Caliph, al-Mu'tadid, one of the greatest of the 'Abbasid caliphs, and Sinan was brought up at the court where his father held the role of court astronomer. Sinan's father Thabit died in 901 and the caliph al-Mu'tadid died the following year. Al-Mu'tadid had shown great skill in playing the various factions off against each other during his period of power but after his troops were defeated by the Qarmatians, a schismatic sect and political movement. Historians argue whether al-Mu'tadid was poisoned in a palace intrigue, but even if he was not this is an indication of the atmosphere in the court where Sinan lived. By this time Sinan was a man of about 22 years of age but, despite having great medical skills, he seems to have held no positions at this time.
Ibrahim Biography of Ibrahim ibn Sinan (908946) Ibrahim ibn sinan ibn thabit ibn Qurra. Born 908 in Baghdad, (now in Iraq) Ibrahim ibn Sinan was a grandson of Thabit ibn Qurra and studied geometry http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Ibrahim.html
Extractions: Ibrahim ibn Sinan was a grandson of Thabit ibn Qurra and studied geometry and in particular tangents to circles. He also studied the apparent motion of the Sun and the geometry of shadows. There is no doubt that had he not died at the young age of thirty-eight, he would have achieved a degree of fame for his mathematical works going even beyond the opinion of Sezgin (see [5] and [6]) that he was:- ... one of the most important mathematicians in the medieval Islamic world. Perhaps his early death robbed him of the chance to make a contribution even more important than that of his famous grandfather. Ibrahim's most important work was on the quadrature of the parabola where he introduced a method of integration more general than that of Archimedes . His grandfather Thabit ibn Qurra had started to view integration in a different way to Archimedes but Ibrahim realised that al-Mahani had made improvements on what his father had achieved. To Ibrahim it was unacceptable that (see for example [1]):-

Extractions: Thabit ibn Qurra was a native of Harran and a member of the Sabian sect. The Sabian religious sect were star worshippers from Harran often confused with the Mandaeans (as they are in [1]). Of course being worshipers of the stars meant that there was strong motivation for the study of astronomy and the sect produced many quality astronomers and mathematicians. The sect, with strong Greek connections, had in earlier times adopted Greek culture, and it was common for members to speak Greek although after the conquest of the Sabians by Islam, they became Arabic speakers. There was another language spoken in southeastern Turkey, namely Syriac, which was based on the East Aramaic dialect of Edessa. This language was Thabit ibn Qurra's native language, but he was fluent in both Greek and Arabic. Some accounts say that Thabit was a money changer as a young man. This is quite possible but some historians do not agree. Certainly he inherited a large family fortune and must have come from a family of high standing in the community.

Extractions: The Origin of Bimaristans in Islamic Medical History By Sharif Kaf Al-Ghazal, MD Dr. Sharif Kaf Al-Ghazal is a plastic surgeon and one of the founders and executive members of the International Society for History of Islamic Medicine. You can contact him at: skalghazal@hotmail.com or visit his web site at: www.islamicmedicine.org With the dawn of Islam on the Bedouin, nomadic tribes of the Arabian Peninsula came an enlightenment, not only strictly spiritual in nature, but also with cultural, educational and scientific connotations. Among the fruits of this enlightenment was the eventual establishment of huge health facilities that, among other things, played an important educational role amongst physicians of the age. The first bimaristan, as these establishments were called, was built in Damascus in 86 Hijri (707 A.D.) by Caliph Al-Waleed ibn 'Abdul-Malik. The aim of its construction was the treatment of acute diseases and the care of patients affected with chronic diseases (such as lepers and the blind). Leprosy patients were not only treated free of charge but were given money to help in supporting their families. The word bimaristan is of Persian origin and means hospital, with bimar meaning disease and stan meaning location or place; thus the location or place of disease.

Extractions: Ibrahim ibn Sinan ibn Thabit ibn Qurra Ibrahim ibn Sinan était un petit fils de Thabit ibn Qurra , il avait étudié la géométrie et en particulier les tangentes aux cercles. Il avait aussi étudié le mouvement apparent du Soleil et la géométrie des ombres. 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:
