Recent research paints a new picture of the debt that Westworld ows to
Moorish/Islamic mathematics. Certainly many of the ideas which were
previously thought to have been brilliant new conceptions due to European
mathematicians of the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries are
now known to have been developed by Moorish Mathematics.

Moorish/Islamic mathematicians around four centuries earlier. In many
respects the mathematics studied today is far closer in style to that of the
Moorish/Islamic contribution than to that of the Greeks.

Link below contains a detailed list of Moorish mathematicians and their
contributions.

Thanks for the reference. Give credit where credit is due. The truth
is that there have been so many men and women who have made great
contributions to science and math over the centuries, but have received
little credit. There is much more in a modern day calculus textbook
than just what Newton and Liebnitz contributed.
