Islam had a profound impact on mathematics, particularly during the Golden Age of Islam (8th to 14th centuries). Muslim scholars preserved and expanded upon the mathematical knowledge of ancient civilizations, such as the Greeks and Indians, introducing concepts like algebra, which was significantly developed by mathematicians like Al-Khwarizmi. They also advanced the use of the number zero and the decimal positional number system, facilitating more complex calculations. Additionally, Islamic mathematicians made strides in geometry and trigonometry, influencing future developments in Europe and beyond.
