Synopsis

Arab Mathematicians explores the significant contributions of Middle Eastern scholars to mathematics and science during the 8th to 15th centuries. It highlights how these thinkers preserved, translated, and expanded upon the knowledge of ancient Greece and India, acting as a vital link to the European Renaissance. The book emphasizes the development of algebra, geometry, and astronomy during the Islamic Golden Age, revealing how these advancements shaped the world we know today. For instance, Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi's work not only gave us the term "algorithm" but also laid the foundation for solving quadratic equations, which remain crucial in modern mathematics.

 
The book progresses by first establishing the historical backdrop, examining the factors that fostered intellectual growth in the Abbasid Caliphate. It then delves into specific fields like algebra, geometry (particularly the study of conic sections), and astronomy, showcasing the meticulous observations and theoretical models developed by scholars like Ibn al-Haytham. A key aspect is its focus on the collaborative, multicultural environment of scientific inquiry, challenging Eurocentric views and showcasing how these advancements were deeply intertwined with practical applications in optics, cartography, and architecture.

The Landscapes of Science and...

Nick Spencer, Hannah Waite

The relationship between science and religion has long been a heated debate and is becoming an ever more popular topic. The scientific capacity to manipulate and change humans and their environment through genetic engineering, life extension, and AI is going to take a huge leap forward in the twenty-first century, provoking endless debates around humans "playing God." 
 
 
 
But what do we mean by this? Asking this question is surprisingly hard work. Attempts to "essentialize" science, let alone religion, quickly run into trouble. Where are the boundaries? Whose definition of science is definitive? Which concept of religious is the authoritative one? 
 
 
 
Ultimately, neither "science" nor "religion" can be pinned down to one single meaning or definition. Rather, they encompass a family of definitions that relate to one another in a complex web of shifting ways. Drawing on extensive research with over a hundred leading thinkers in the UK—including Martin Rees, Brian Cox, Susan Greenfield, A. C. Grayling, Ray Tallis, Linda Woodhead, Steve Bruce, Adam Rutherford, Robin Dunbar, Francesca Stavrakopoulou, and Iain McGilchrist—The Landscapes of Science and Religion takes the much-needed step of asking what science and religion actually are, before turning to the familiar question of how they relate to one another.
