Ibn al-Haytham and Analytical Mathematics

Founding Figures and Commentators in Arabic Mathematics

Al-Sijz&#299; was a mathematician of the second half of the tenth century, a particularly fertile period for the history and philosophy of mathematics. He occupies a central place in a generation that, in particular, succeeded in renewing the methods of geometry and opening up new avenues of research in this field. This book contains a critical edition of several of his writings on plane and solid geometry, thus enriching research in the history and philosophy of mathematics. Al-Sijz&#299; endeavours to identify the laws of geometry and, through a commentary on Euclid's books, to explain its principles. In the course of this work to elucidate the laws and concepts of the discipline, he also devoted essays to teaching, and others to the theory of demonstration. In addition, he kept up a rich correspondence with contemporary mathematicians, a living illustration of the mathematical research of his time.

Pierre Fermat is known for his numbers theories in the 17th century. His work on Geometry has not been dealt with in a comprehensive way.This work shows how starting from Greek, Arabic and Latin traditions Fermat has contributed to the modern beginnings of geometrical disciplines.
