Talk:Alhazen's problem

"Islamic mathematics"

I don't think there is such a thing as "Islamic Mathematics"; mathematics is a science that's it. I never heard the term "Christian Mathematics” for instance. So, why this page should use the term "Islamic"? People could say is an Arab mathematician, or German etc, whatever is the case. But what religion has to do with this.217.55.172.180 (talk) 18:27, 4 July 2013 (UTC)

I have rephrased it, while keeping the link to Mathematics in medieval Islam. I think that the idea is that although there is only one universal field of mathematics, it was developed at different times in different parts of the world, and so it is convenient to break up the history of mathematics and mathematicians into different articles for different cultures.

Diagram

This would be much easier to understand if there was a diagram. Richard75 (talk) 19:49, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

Wrong Alhazen's solution

Sorry but I don't speak fluent english'

I think there is a misunderstanding with reference:

Victor J. Katz (1995), "Ideas of Calculus in Islam and India", Mathematics Magazine.

Katz presents the Alhazen's method to compute volumes, first attempt after Archimedes and before Cavalieri in calculus. There is nothing to do with Alhazen's problem. See A.I. Sabra, Ibn al-Haytham' lemas for solving Alhazen's Problem for the Alhazen's problem proof. HB (talk) 14:24, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
