Unless one has a particular scientist or inventor in mind, it's hard to give accurate credit to a whole people, because important ideas are shared. For example, we speak of "Arabic numerals," a great improvement on Roman numerals, but the Arabs only transmitted those to the Europeans; they were developed by the Hindus.

One branch of science for which we can specifically thank the Muslims is algebra.

The Arabic numbers that are used now in English writings (0, 1, 2, 3, ...) are invented by Muslims but those Aran numbers used in Arabic writings are developed by Hindus.
