The Islamic Golden Age saw significant contributions to mathematics, particularly from the Islamic Empire. Scholars such as Al-Khwarizmi, known as the "father of algebra," made groundbreaking advancements in the field. His work laid the foundations for modern algebra, providing systematic methods for solving equations. The Islamic scholars also preserved and translated ancient Greek mathematical texts, making them accessible to a broader audience. Their innovations, including the introduction of the decimal system and advancements in geometry, greatly influenced mathematics and science in Europe during the Renaissance.
