Achievements: Sciences

During the golden age of Islam, the Muslims scholars achieved such great and vast accomplishments that would highly inspire the rest of the world in the future. Among the many achievements that they are accounted for, some of them are the decimal system, the concept of zero and the development of trigonometry in its modern form. In addition,  in this time for the Empire, there were many advances in optics and astronomy. 


Rosanna Gorini writes:
"According to the majority of the historians al-Haytham was the pioneer of the modern scientific method. With his book he changed the meaning of the term optics and established experiments as the norm of proof in the field. His investigations are based not on abstract theories, but on experimental evidences and his experiments were systematic and repeatable."
