"Science and Technology in Islam"
Editors: Prof. A.Y. Al Hassan
Co-Editors: Prof. A.Z. Iskandar and Prof. Maqbul Ahmed (deceased)
Research into Islamic science and technology is still in its early stages, but there is now sufficient material available for a preliminary study. Volume IV is intended to fill a gap which deserves a major multi-volume work.
Part I - Summary
Part I is a review of the history of science in Islam. It deals with the contribution of Islamic civilization to mathematics, astronomy, and physics, which have long been acknowledged, but also advances made by Muslim scientists in the fields of cosmology, geology and mineralogy, zoology, veterinary science and botany.
La première partie est un examen de l'histoire des sciences dans l'Islam. Il traite de la contribution de la civilisation islamique aux mathématiques,à l'astronomie et la physique, qui ont depuis longtemps été reconnu, mais aussi des avancées des scientifiques musulmans dans les domaines de la cosmologie, de la géologie et de la minéralogie, de la zoologie, des sciences vétérinaires et de la botanique.Table of Contents
