"From the middle of the eighth century until the European Renaissance, Arabic was the language of mathematics and science. It is to Arabic efforts that we owe our system of calculation and our symbols for numbers. Islamic science, synthesizing earlier Greek, Indian, and Near Eastern thinking, made significant contributions in the fields of astronomy, physics, medicine, and engineering."--Container.
