The Islamic Golden Age is particularly noted for its contributions to mathematics and science, flourishing between the 8th and 14th centuries. The Abbasid Caliphate, especially in cities like Baghdad, became centers of learning where scholars made advancements in algebra, astronomy, and medicine. Influential figures such as Al-Khwarizmi and Ibn al-Haytham fostered a rich appreciation for scientific inquiry and intellectual debate. This era not only preserved ancient knowledge but also laid the groundwork for modern scientific principles.
