Pythagoras started to persuade people of his mathematics in the 7th century, he was able to convince people to follow him and his mathematics. Pythagoras was fair and kind, which answers the driving question “How did Islamic peoples transmit knowledge from the ancient world to influence modern intellectualism?”. He invited women to his lectures in which he spread his intellectualism.
In the beginning, Muhammad started to preach his teachings, called Islam, in a populous trade center known as Mecca. Though, at first, his preachings were resisted as the people worried that idol worship and pilgrimages, or journeys to a sacred place, would end. This, in fact, proved to be true as with enough support, Muhammad ordered that the idols be destroyed and that a shrine dedicated to Allah be built instead, making Mecca the birthplace and foundation of Islam. However, within 100 years of Muhammad’s death in 632 CE, Islam had spread to multiple other countries including Europe, North Africa, and Asia. The question is, how did Islam spread so rapidly over the course of 100 years? Briefly put, Islam spread rapidly due to trade routes, military campaigns, and non-Muslim converts.
The Islamic civilization had many great achievements and accomplishments that have contributed to world culture. Islamic achievements have helped other cultures adopt new ideas and make great advancements in an immense variety of fields. These fields include medicine, art and literature, architecture, astronomy, philosophy, and mathematics. Islamic achievements also assisted in making daily life for the Muslim people a lot easier. Of all the Islamic achievements, those in the field of medicine, mathematics, and art were the most important and influential to world today. Mecca was the center of trade and it helped Islam spread quickly. Trading in Mecca helped Islam spread because Mecca traded to many different places and while trading the word
In the Canterbury Tale by Geoffrey Chaucer, born in circa 1340 - October 25, 1400, London, England.Chaucer expresses his beliefs of how should love be through the Knight's Tale and Miller’s Prologue since both presents a love triangle.Chaucer on the stories shows two types of love which had similarities and differences between the characters and the events of both stories.
Eight years is a long time to go to school to be an equine veterinarian, but it offers a lifetime of saving horses. True one has to go to a college or university for eight plus years to become an equine veterinarian, but it all pays off in the end. It does not pay in money, but knowing that one saves a horses life, or can make their life better. This is what Charlie Scoggin was trying to say when he said “In my opinion, a salary should not be the sole means for deciding upon a job. You have to look at the big picture.” (Charlie Scoggin Resident veterinarian Rood and Riddle equine hospital). Equine veterinary medicine is not just about making money, but helping horses heal, recover, and live a better
The study of mathematics was a key element in the Pythagorean school. The ones who joined the inner circle of Pythagoras'
Based on the document “The Islamic World” we are able to understand the driving question of “How did Islamic peoples transmit knowledge from the ancient world to influence modern intellectualism?” and how we might strive to answer it. In a time period called by the text “The Muslim world underwent an explosion of knowledge like the one that occurred in ancient Greece during its golden age (490–404 B.C.)” In this time period Arab scholars continued keep knowledge held by the greek classics alive, such as philosopher Aristotle.During the period from the 700s to the 900s, at a time when Western Europe was almost wholly ignorant of ancient Greece, writings by Aristotle and other Greeks on everything from medicine to magic were translated into
Water has five main properties. It’s first is its attraction to other polar molecules. Because of its cohesion to other water molecules, it is a major property. Cohesive forces are responsible for surface tension. This causes water to form spherical droplets; this also allows it to support small objects if they have been placed carefully on the surface. Due to the hydrogen bonds in the water, this allows the water molecules to hold together. As they are exposed to air on one side, there will be neighbouring water molecules to bond with, this forms stronger bonds with the existing neighbours. As a result of the cohesion, the surface tension allows insects such as Water Striders to walk on the surface of water. As opposed to is adhesion. Adhesion is the water’s attraction between molecules of a
According to others, architecture may be one of the greatest and informational innovation that the Muslim civilizations made. Looking at the My World Textbook, it states, “ Muslim architects built striking mosques, fountains, gates, gardens, baths, and palaces.” While that may be true, the Muslim civilization has made more useful inventions, such as hygiene. The Muslims produced great innovations in time. The Muslim civilization produced helpful contributions in hygiene that have really changed the world. According to 1,001 Inventions & Awesome Facts From Muslim Civilization, it states, “Bathhouses were used by men and women but at separate times. Women usually bathed during the day and men at night or very early in the morning.” According
Some will argue that mathematics is not one of the most important muslim achievements because
Muhammad was basically the main focus of this document. I think the reason for that is because he focused on a lot of things. He started preaching on 3 main things which were the 3 principles- Allah was the only god and all other deities in the Kaaba were false idols- the rich should share their wealth with the poor- and that all men would face a final judgment before Allah. He was also hired by Khadijah to be her representative in a merchant business which took him to
This text mainly addresses the question: How did humans attempt to develop knowledge?For pythagoras, that was by creating what may as well have been a new religion. He gave numbers gender, married a student, and had followers that altered their whole lifestyle centered around him and numbers. He even went as far to label a triangle as an oath, as stated in the quote: “Do you see? What you take to be 4 is 10, a perfect triangle and our oath” He also labeled odd numbers as masculine and divine, whereas even numbers were feminine and earthy. It sounds strange to a modern mind, But back then this was perfectly legitimate, After all he did invent the pythagorean theorem, A theorem mind you, we still use and hold dear today, We wouldn't have any
learning about mathematics. That is because this man, Pythagoras of Samos, is the creator of the Pythagorean Theorem. It is of course what he is most likely widely known for as it is huge in Geometry. This paper will give you all you need to know about the man who revolutionized mathematics…Pythagoras of Samos.
Ancient Islam had many achievements that have a large influence on daily life. Muslim scholars combined the Indian numerical system, the use of zero, and Greek mathematics, eventually leading to a Muslim mathematician using these ideas to write two books. One book laid the foundation for modern day algebra and the other book invented a new number system called the “Arabic” numerals, which we use today. In medicine, Muslim scholars also combined Indian and greek
Between the 9th to 12th centuries a Golden Age of Islamic Scholarship sprung from a flourishing Islamic Empire and laid the foundations for much of modern science. During this period, ancient texts from across the world were collected, translated to Arabic, and discussed. One notable example of how Islamic thinkers in this era built on scholars of previous eras and other cultures is how Algebra was invented by bringing together the ideas of Greek and Indian mathematicians to create a new way of thinking about numbers. This was motivated and enabled partly by Islamic principles to seek knowledge of the world and partly by the needs of a growing Islamic Empire. Perhaps what we can learn from this era is that knowledge is universal and collaborative,
Pythagoras was a Greek Philosopher and Mathematician born approximately around the time of 570 b.c. in Samos, Greece, He was the founder of the Pythagorean Brotherhood, a group of followers that adhered to a set of guidelines laid out by the Philosopher himself.. In his lifetime one of his most notable contributions to the field of math was publicizing the mathematical theorem now known as the Pythagorean Theorem, the well-known geometric theorem that the sum of the squares on the legs of a right triangle are equivalent to the square on the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle)—or, in familiar algebraic notation, A2+B2= C2. Throughout the ages there have been many myths, legends, and rumors about pythagoras circulating about, due to the fact that little is known about his him or his brotherhood. Pythagoras was recognized as being a spiritual leader, of which many myths were told, and who adhered largely to the idea that dietary means are quintessential to a person’s spiritual growth
