THE CONTRIBUTION OF MEDIEVAL MUSLIMS TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF MODERN SCIENCE: A REVIEW OF ALKHWARIZMI

Abstract

Muslim scholars had reached the pinnacle of scientific culture for more than five centuries. There is no denying that it was the Muslim scholars of the day who shed light on the biological sciences of medieval Europe. If the Nobel Prize had been introduced at that time, only one Muslim would have won the Nobel Prize many times. Prominent mathematician Al Quarizmi has also received numerous awards. The purpose of this study is to identify the contributions of alKhwarizmi, one of the intellectuals of medieval Muslims, to the fields of astronomy, geography and mathematics. The study, which is based on characteristic descriptive methodology, analyzes secondary data such as research articles, texts, journals, and web articles related to the research topic. It is undeniable in today's modern world that medieval Muslim scholars brought the European Dark Ages to the light of knowledge and rose to its zenith. Muhammad ibn Musa alKhwarizmi who was a Persian geographer, trader, mathematician and the pioneer in the field of geography founded algebra in mathematics, algorithms, and algorithms. Hundreds of contributions to the introduction of Indian numerology to Europe and the field of commerce through his book, Arithmetic, further enrich his scholarly contributions. It is therefore irrefutable that his scholarly contributions became known as the results of this study and that his contributions of knowledge will still be talked about in future society.
