00:00.000 --> 00:08.000
The Renaissance

00:08.000 --> 00:13.440
The Renaissance was linked to the broader world, including the Islamic world, where scholars

00:13.440 --> 00:18.240
preserved and expanded ancient Greek and Roman knowledge.

00:18.240 --> 00:22.080
This knowledge entered Europe through trade and the Crusades.

00:22.080 --> 00:29.880
Al-Quaizmi, his works on algebra were translated into Latin and had a profound impact on European

00:29.880 --> 00:36.080
mathematics. Al-Quaizmi's al-Kitab al-Mukh-Tasar fi-Hisab al-Jabur

00:36.080 --> 00:42.760
Wal-Mukhabala, the compendious book on calculation by completion and balancing.

00:42.760 --> 00:48.600
Introduced systematic solutions of linear and quadratic equations.

00:48.600 --> 00:55.160
Example, the term algebra itself is derived from the title of Al-Quaizmi's book,

00:55.160 --> 01:01.560
reflecting his foundational contributions to the field, Ibn Sina Avicena.

01:01.560 --> 01:07.240
His canon of medicine was a standard medical text in Europe for centuries.

01:07.240 --> 01:14.120
It compiled knowledge from various cultures and introduced new medical theories and practices.

01:14.120 --> 01:19.000
Example Ibn Sina's detailed descriptions of diseases and their treatments

01:19.000 --> 01:24.760
were used as a reference by European medical schools well into the Renaissance.

01:24.760 --> 01:31.400
In conclusion, the Renaissance, a transformative era in art, science, and thought

01:31.400 --> 01:38.440
was influenced by global connections, including significant contributions from Islamic civilizations.

01:39.400 --> 01:45.720
Recognizing these diverse influences is key to understanding its impact.
