 Inventor Alisaiden “Tronics” Mambuay The world would not have been so advance in technology had it not been of Islam and the early Muslims whose theory and knowledge became the source of great modern discoveries. The Encyclopedia a comprehensive reference work said that one Arab Muslim, Muhammad Al-khwarizmi, who was a great scientist and mathematician is the founder of Al-jabr, or Algebra, algorithm, arithmetic and decimal notation a concepts of great importance in modern computing. History tells us that there were only two numerals being used in modern computation, one is Arabic Numerals, and the other is Roman Numerals. The west and the Europe, especially the Americans, who ventured on advance technology, had to adopt the Arabic numeral because it was easy to apply than the Roman Numerals. The Americans and the Europeans, however, made some modifications. This resulted to mathematics which gave birth to technology. Technology such as Mobile phones, computers, digitals and other hi-tech discoveries are functioning with the use of numbers (Arabic numerals). Therefore, without the Arabic numeral which is a Muslim Arab discovery and adopted by scientists and mathematicians, high technology would not be as advance as today, modern times. This is one knowledge among others which the Muslims have contributed for the benefits of mankind. Therefore, I am inviting everybody to learn Islam, the complete way of life. The religion of Peace, Justice, Science. |
