He invented the camera obscura
Alhazen, also known as Ibn al-Haytham, was a pioneering Arab scientist and mathematician who made significant contributions to optics, particularly in the study of light and vision. He is best known for formulating the first complete theory of vision, which explained how light enters the eye and is processed by the brain. Alhazen also conducted experiments on refraction and reflection, laying the groundwork for the field of optics. His work influenced later scientists and established principles that are still relevant in modern physics.
He did not INVENT it, he DISCOVEREDit.
He didn't invent mathematics.
Descartes did not invent polynomials.
Alhazen, also known as Ibn al-Haytham, is best known for his pioneering work in optics, particularly his formulation of the principles of light and vision. He is often regarded as the "father of optics" for his comprehensive studies on the behavior of light, including reflection and refraction. His book, the "Book of Optics," laid the groundwork for modern optical science and introduced the scientific method through experimentation and observation, influencing later developments in physics and vision science.
To be politically correct: no. To be correct: yes. Although he didn't invent the actual device, he is credited with figuring out the facts needed to design and construct most types of optics. i) Figured out how to make concave and convex lenses by melting glass with ?steam?. ii) Figured out the mathematical calculations for said scope. iii) Figured out the perceptual limitations of the eye. iv) Figured out the scientific method and defunked most theories in respect to mythology being involved in our perception.

Yes
While the Romans did use glass extensively, there is no direct evidence to suggest they invented the magnifying glass. The earliest recorded use of a magnifying glass is attributed to the Arab scientist Alhazen in the 11th century.
He come from Iraq.

Alhazen, known as the "father of modern optics," made significant contributions to the field of optics. He formulated the first comprehensive theory of vision and documented the anatomy of the eye. Alhazen also discovered the principles of reflection and refraction of light.
Alhazen, the Latinized name of Abū 'Alī al-Hasan ibn al-Hasan ibn al-Haytham, was born Basra, in what was then part of the Abbasid Caliphate is now in the Republic of Iraq, in 965.
No. The first 'camera' (camera obscura) was built about a thousand years ago by Iraqi scientist Ibn al-Haytham (Alhazen) . This camera was pretty huge!

The answer is PythagorasHis investigation of optics in Arab science also contributed to his understanding, particularly Alhazen's [al-HAH-zens] Perspectiva[pehr-spehk-TEE-vah] (ca. 1000 CE), which integrated the classical works of Euclid, Ptolemy, and Galen. Their understanding of the principles of geometry, and the sense of balance and proportion that geometry inspired, affected every aspect of Brunelleschi's architectural work.
Ibn al-Haytham, also known as Alhazen, a Persian scientist in the 11th century, is credited with discovering the rectilinear propagation of light. He conducted experiments and observations to understand how light travels in straight lines. His work laid the foundation for modern optics.
