ISLAMIC SCIENCE •Islamic Golden Age
• Between the 8th and 16th centuries
• Islam was the driving force behind the Muslim achievements
• known as Arabic science
SCIENTIFIC METHOD
Experimentation Empirical
Observation Historical Methods Controlled
Experimentation Inquiry
Ibn al-Haytham (Alhazen) was a polymath who was a pioneer of modern optics and the scientific method
MEDICINE
Systematic Experimentation
Quantification into the study of physiology
Discovery of the contagious nature of infectious diseases
Introduction of quarantine
Avicenna was a polymath who was considered a pioneer of experimental medicine and the concept of momentum
ISLAMIC PHILOSOPHY
Logic in Islamic law and theologyi. Analogical reasoningii. Inductive reasoningiii. Categorical syllogism
Aristotelian logici. Metaphysics
Alfarabian logici. Contingentsii. Number and relation of the categoriesiii. the relation between logic and grammar
FORMAL SCIENCES LOGIC
Avicennian logic as a replacement of Aristotelian logic.
Introduction on hypothetical syllogism (history of logic)
Temporal modal logic ( possibility, probability , necessity)
Inductive logic Developed science of citation-ISNAD 15TH century ASHARITE school Standards of an argument Islamic philosophers studied logic and language
MATHEMATICS

NATURAL SCIENCEPhysics
Ibn Sahl mathematician and
physicist First to discover law of
refraction (Snell’s law) Used this law to work out
the shapes of lenses that focus light with no geometric aberrations, known as anaclastic lenses
set out his understanding of how curved mirrors and lenses bend and focus light
Reproduction of a page of Ibn Sahl's manuscript showing his discovery of the law of refraction (from Rashed, 1990). The original (ca. 984) is public domain.
