If you know who this man is than you might know what I am talking about in this post but for others he might be a person who may yell (you know) and do something really bad.
But what if i tell you, that this man born in c.780 has influenced you in every point of life, from education to simple matter of counting money or numbers(related to maths majorly but influenced physics to great deal)........
want to know more ??
His name is Musa al khawarizmi (a persian arab) the man who introduced algebra to the field of maths.....
think of it
without him we wont be able to drive cars,run electricity,watch tv or do almost anything else....
Now coming to the topic(went a little off sorry ;-))
How many honestly knew him, if yes good ,if not well .....now you know him.....
there are many arabs who were never given recognition of their work by the westerners ....to quote a few...
1.jaber ibn hayyan(father of chemistry-distilled alcohol from water-first to use distiller,condenser)
2.Ibn al naphis(the one who discovered double circulation in humans long before William Harvey)
3.Abbas Ibn Firnas(the first man to ever try to fly)
4.A famous physician with the name Ibn sina(wrote the book canoon)for medicine
5.this is quite heavily debated but without doubt the victory had gone to the minority of 3000 muslims against 200000 romans and their arab allies..... the commander (debated about)was Khalid Bin Al Waleed.
6.it was the arab physicians who set the benchmark of cleanliness in an infirmary
7.it was only because of an arab pilot that Vasco DA Gama reached India
8.the first rockets (small canon fired mounted projectiles) were made by the Arabs.
9.your daily coffee was only found out after the ottomans lost the war against Poland.
Most of the names given above are sometimes purposefully altered such as
jaber ibn hayyan called as gaber
ibn sinas book called as canon
the non mentioning of humanity's first flight
etc
but my goal is not to complain but to spread knowledge and know these people to give credit to the right people
