Ibn al-Haytham, also known as Alhazen, was born in Basra, Iraq, around 965 CE. Little is documented about his early childhood, but it is believed that he came from a wealthy family, which likely allowed him access to education and resources. He showed an early interest in science and mathematics, eventually moving to Cairo, where he conducted significant studies in optics and vision. His upbringing in a culturally rich environment likely influenced his later contributions to science.
