Al-gebra anyone? An arabic word, used to work an arabic number system, to explore concepts mostly developed in Egypt (Alexandria)?
Greek science we only know because while Christianity spent centuries busily burning every book that wasn't the bible, Muslim societies preserved that ancient knowledge for us and passed it back when we stopped being so destructive?
Actually 'Arabic Numbers' are Indian in origin.
No, Roman Catholics refused to accept knowledge that the Eastern churches kept intact which spread to the West largely after the rampaging Turks (Muslim) conquered Constantinople renaming it Istanbul. Constantinople was basically the Eastern Roman Empire which kept 'Classical Knowledge' very much alive.
But I digress...
