    This document discusses the contributions of several important Islamic mathematicians from the 8th to 14th centuries, including Al-Khwarizmi (father of algebra, introduced Arabic numerals and algorithms), Al-Kashi (accurately calculated Pi), Thabit ibn Qurra (theories of non-Euclidean geometry and calculus), and Omar Khayyam (contributions to algebra including solving cubic equations). It traces the progression of mathematical concepts developed during this period in the Islamic Empire, establishing foundations for modern arithmetic, geometry, trigonometry, and algebra.
