The Arabs, primarily from the Arabian Peninsula, emerged as a significant cultural and intellectual force during the Islamic Golden Age (8th to 14th centuries). They made substantial contributions to mathematics, notably in algebra, which is derived from the Arabic word "al-jabr." They also advanced the use of the decimal positional number system and introduced concepts such as algorithms, named after the Persian mathematician Al-Khwarizmi, and the use of zero as a numerical placeholder. Their work laid the foundation for modern mathematics and influenced European mathematical thought.
