Episodes in the mathematics of medieval Islam[electronic resource] /by J.L. Berggren. - 2nd ed. - New York, NY :Springer New York :2016. - xii, 256 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Preface -- 1. Introduction -- 2. Islamic Arithmetic -- 3. Geometrical Constructions in the Islamic World -- 4. Algebra in Islam -- 5. Trigonometry in the Islamic World -- 6. Spherics in the Islamic World -- Index.

This book presents an account of selected topics from key mathematical works of medieval Islam, based on the Arabic texts themselves. Many of these works had a great influence on mathematics in Western Europe. Topics covered in the first edition include arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and numerical approximation; this second edition adds number theory and combinatorics. Additionally, the author has included selections from the western regions of medieval Islam--both North Africa and Spain. The author puts the works into their historical context and includes numerous examples of how mathematics interacted with Islamic society.
