What mathematical developments did Muslims make during the abbasid period?
During the Abbasid period, Muslim mathematicians made significant advancements in various areas of mathematics. They introduced decimal system and the concept of zero to the Islamic world, which later spread to Europe. They also made important contributions to algebra, trigonometry, and geometry, building upon the works of Greek and Indian mathematicians. Muslim mathematicians like Al-Khwarizmi and Al-Kindi laid the foundation for modern mathematics through their development of algebraic symbolism and solving quadratic equations.
Why did Hellenistic thinkers make important advance in the science and mathematics?
For the mathematicians and scientists of ancient Greece, the motive was intellectual recreation more than the solving of practical problems. Later in history a great many practical problems have been solved by the use of mathematical and scientific knowledge developed in ancient Greece (and greatly expanded in subsequent eras) but at the time no one knew or anticipated that such uses would ever be found for abstract knowledge. It was just interesting. They built upon the earlier Greek, Babylonia and Egyptians knowledge.
