Islamic Golden Age
The Islamic Golden Age was a period of scientific, economic and cultural flourishing in the history of Islam, traditionally dated from the establishment of the House of Wisdom in the early 8th century and lasting until the Sack of Baghdad and the subsequent collapse of the Abbasid Caliphate in the 13th century.[1]
History
Around the height of the period, Thābit ibn Qurra emerged as a leading visionary in the fields of mathematics, mechanical engineering, medicine, astrology, and astronomy, being instrumental in ushering in many of the scientific reformations of that period. He occupied his years after moving to Baghdad, then the center of the Islamic World, and occupied his years with teaching, study, and innovation until his death in 901AD. His son, Sinan, became one of the most important physicians and played a major role in the upkeep and development of the city's public hospitals during that era. His grandson, Ibrahim, went on to become a distinguished mathematician.[2]
