Preface -- 1. Introduction -- 2. Islamic Arithmetic -- 3. Geometrical Constructions in the Islamic World -- 4. Algebra in Islam -- 5. Trigonometry in the Islamic World -- 6. Spherics in the Islamic World -- Index.
This book presents an account of selected topics from key mathematical works of medieval Islam, based on the Arabic texts themselves. Many of these works had a great influence on mathematics in Western Europe. Topics covered in the first edition include arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and numerical approximation; this second edition adds number theory and combinatorics. Additionally, the author has included selections from the western regions of medieval Islam—both North Africa and Spain. The author puts the works into their historical context and includes numerous examples of how mathematics interacted with Islamic society.
