true
Who was Omar khayyam and what did he contribute to Muslim civilization?
He created the math and geometry
What contributions to mathematics did Euclid make?
Euclid is best known for being the Father of geometry. He also created the oldest mathematical school teaching book called 'Euclid's Elements' which is still being used in school's world wide.
Who was Pythagoras and what was his contribution to science?
Pythagoras was a mathmatician/scientist in the Hellenistic period who created the basic Pythagorean theorem, a^2+b^2=c^2. It probably contributed to science because of geometry, and helping scientists find the area of a triangle much easier.
What are Thomas Hariot's mathematical discoveries?
He created a mathematical formula for drawing lines of latitude on a chart so that a route with constant compass bearing would be a straight line on the map. "The sum of the angles of a spherical triangle is always larger than two right angles. The amount E by which it exceeds 180° is called the spherical excess. The 16th-century French mathematician Albert Girard showed that this excess determines the surface area of the triangle: the radius squared by the excess gives the area (in symbols, A=R²E)."
