![]() Warhol wrote: Moorish Mathematics: Forgotten Brilliance... 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. http://www-history.mcs.st-andrews.ac...xes/Arabs.html 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. Double-A |
