Ibn al-Haytham's Theory of Conics, Geometrical Constructions and Practical Geometry

Exploring the history and philosophy of mathematics in the medieval Arab world, this volume delves into the theory of conics and practical geometry. It serves as a primary source, complementing two earlier volumes that examine key figures and the evolution of 'infinitesimal mathematics' as articulated by Ibn al-Haytham. The text offers valuable insights into the contributions of Arab scholars to mathematical sciences, highlighting their influence on the field's development.
