How did the arab culture contribute to a gain in science?

Answer 1

They came up with our Number system. 012345689..

Before that the West used Roman Numerals that were hard to perform mathematical calculations with.

Answer 2

The Arab that the west don't like is the base for every thing that the west is now reaching, the Arab has made significant contribution for all kind of science medicine, Algebra, astronomy, math, Arabic and many other languages, architecture, history, religious,...... .
And every thing comes to ur mind, and that all that have been done with hands of many Arab heros like Salah Al-Dean Al Aeube, Al Mutanibe, Abn Sena, Abn Batuta,.......
But really u should read some box about the Arabic Culture,because it is a history of an old nation of era which is existing untill now.

Answer 3

During the Dark Ages of Europe, all knowledge was confined to monks in their monasteries. They considered the common man too dull and uncouth to understand the advances the Greek civilization had to offer. Dar al Islam, however, was a huge empire that flourished from west Africa to east Asia, and included Andalusia, the southernmost part of Iberia. Eventually, the knowledge of Ancient Greece spread from there throughout Europe, sparking the Renaissance. Science got hold of Europe and lead to the Industrial Revolution. All science owes a debt of gratitude to the Arab Culture, although it owes nothing to the monks who were hording this same knowledge. Another point of Arab Culture adding to science was the introduction of the Arabic Numeral System, originated in India, replacing the Roman Numeral System.

Answer 4

some say numbers, but the numbers 1 to 9 actually originally came from India.

algebra (invented around the year 800). the name itself comes from Arabic, "al jabr", meaning "the computation" (approximately). note that the use of "x" for the unknown also comes from Arabic "thing". a word like "algorithm" comes from the name of the inventor of algebra, Khwarizmi

various other mathematical contributions: in trigonometry, etc

in chemistry: identification of alcohol, etc.

quite a lot of stuff in other sciences, for example medicine (Ibn Sina, europeanised as "Avicenna").

all in all, huge contributions. It is interesting to travel to Spain, where Arabs were established for about 700 years, to note all the influences. At one point Cordoba had become one of the most dynamic intellectual cities in the world because of all the great minds that went there, under its Arab government.

Answer 5

___Presuming the Arab culture and nation has sent many students to the prestigious schools in the world, there might be a slight difference to the gains or the discoveries in science.

Especially the governments air defense systems, pilots, engineers, medical and research development, and of course nuclear power development. Our U.S. State Dept. can give you a better insight to these questions.

Answer 6

It has made no significant contribution to anything in the last eight hundred years. Some Arab mathematicians did some useful work a long time ago, and in fact the word "algorithm" comes from the name of one of them. But beyond that, nothing.
A message for the Captain, who alleges that the Qur'an has scientific facts: I have carefully read it, from cover to cover, in two separate translations, specifically looking for such facts, and found none whatever.

Answer 7

lol, way to numerous to list... whole websites/books dedicated to this subject.

The Quran itself is full of scientific facts.
