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.
