some very interesting links specially the geometry one mec, apparently thats been a big thing in muslim architecture and art, probably because muslims are generally accredited with inventing trig, i believe?

schiller - algebra, and most fundamentals in maths as well as science. Even in literature as well - i mean poetry - these are all fields muslims have excelled in

I know :-D

poetry is a different issue like all arts perhaps
but science owes a lot to us specially trig and medicine perhaps
