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.

Is math Greek?
I am not sure what you want to know, but surely math is not just Greek. The ancient Greeks made great and fundamental contributions to math , particularly in Geometry and there are modern Greek mathematicians , but the field has expanded exponentially since the heyday of the Greek geometers -excellent mathematicians are now found all over the world. Mathematicians often used Greek letters, but this is only a notational convenience- has nothing to do with the Greek language.
Did the Greeks invent algebra?
The invention of algebra traces back to the ancient Babylonians. At the time, Egyptian, Greek, and Chinese mathematicians actually used geometry to solve math problems.
Why do people use Greek symbols in math?
They use Greek symbols in math since Greek mathematicians invented math.
Why is zero undefined?
Ancient Greek philosophers and theologians debated the concept of zero and the meaning of nothingness. To them, zero may have been undefined. Contemporary mathematicians do not enter into such debates in their roles as mathematicians (which is not to say that some of them may not have night jobs as philisophers or theologians). To mathematicians, zero is very well defined and an important element of mathematics.
