Other contributions included creating algebra, the use of decimals, mathematical induction, and trigonometry, among others.
What mathematical discipline originated in the Islamic empire?Spherical Trigonometry
The 13th Century Persian astronomer, scientist and mathematician Nasir Al-Din Al-Tusi was perhaps the first to treat trigonometry as a separate mathematical discipline, distinct from astronomy.
Did Islam create algebra?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.
What contribution did Muslims make in math and science?The Muslims developed the symbol for zero and they systematized the numbers into the decimal system - base 10. Additionally, they designed the symbol to precise an unknown quantity, i.e. variables like "X".
