I think https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alhazen deserves to be better known and I am forever intrigued by Omar Khayam. Those so called "Dark ages" was a very Christian thing. At that time Islam was doing pretty well by many standards of modernity, better than most of Europe.
i think you might have thought you were on reddit right? putting comments like this without any comments backing it up and saying some leftist narrow minded view of the world full of self hatred toward the christian civilisation that accounted for a lot in the fact that you can today type on a keyboard posting on the internet (yes you guys think it is alright as you don't insult an opressed minority I know) won't work on HN.

Perhaps you have heard of 'algebra', 'algorithm', 'algorism', 'positional system', etc. perhaps not., Perhaps you will comprehend the connection, then again perhaps not.
BTW are leftists primarily christian ? Otherwise the 'self hatred' part would require some out of body experience.
EDIT: Apologies HN for feeding the troll, hadn't checked his/her comment history before.
algebra exists since babylonian or egyptian era. but if you want to give credit for it to someone that fits better your agenda than a disapeared civilisation then I will consent to it. Leftists obviously are not pro christians. they are anti-religion as long as the religion is christian and in the majority. when the religion is a minority then it is a religion of peace that has invented everything from the wheel to the space shuttles.
